Only at my eye doctor, he is a great doctor but takes 1-2 hours to see his patients. It gives his patients lots of time to get lost in a book!!

I wouldn't be without my Kindle, though I've got to admit that when I'm waiting - for a doctor, dentist or plane flight my attention span is about two minutes.

Definitely! Doctors or hospital I take a book to read or Kindle and usually find if I have a book I'm really engrossed in that I don't have to wait very long for the appointment!

I am always accompanied by either a book or my Kindle .. the only time I'm not accompanied by a book is when I go swimming.
You sound like me! I take a book with my everywhere. Sometimes I pull a book out in the most random of places and get some very weird looks, but what can I say, I love a good book and sometimes I just can't keep away from a good story.

My Kindle on my phone is the best thing on earth. No need for another device and I like that I can take it out whenever. I think it's a matter of not being rude but still get your reading in.

I keep my Kindle in my purse and it goes everywhere I go. I don't have the patience to wait in the Drs office without something to do and I don't watch tv.

Yes, my android phone is loaded with Kindle books and whenever I have to kill time, I just turn on my Android Kindle application and start to read whatever I want.
Life is good.

I always take a book with me to the doctors office. Now that I can hold hundreds of books on a ereader I practically take it everywhere and read at appointments, before meetings, on my lunch break etc. I find that I get a lot of reading in throughout the day because I can carry them along so easily!
