I have tried it once or twice, but couldn't really do it.

Sometimes but I prefer using an e-reader, I find that I read much faster on it. I suppose this is because the device has been especially designed to facilitate the activity of reading.

No, until this past week I didn't know that that was even possible.

I don't even like to try. The headache I get is annoying. I can't even stand to do it on short term.

All the time, but rarely the entire book. It is simply easier for me to browse on my PC, and then sample books through the browser. If I'm really interested in one I'd use a hand-held device.

I only read them with an app on my phone. I had a desktop pc so would find it very awkward to read a book through my browser. I don't think I could read through a browser on a laptop either. I have never liked reading large hardbacks I like to read on something I can take with me on the go.

For me I want to be somewhere comfortable and I do a lot of my reading as I think I said while on the go usually on public transport.

I never knew you could read kindle books through your browser until 3 months ago, now I read on my internet browser whenever my Iphone is charging or when my Kindle device has been confiscated. Going to sneak my laptop upstairs to my bedroom tonight to keep on reading a series I'm reading.

I've read more ebooks on my laptop than on my Kobo. I find it easier to manage ebooks on my laptop.

I used to read ebooks on my laptop when I had my Kindle keyboard because I could read in the dark and not disturb anyone by turning on a light.

Since I got my Kindle Fire I haven't had to and it's even better 'cause the backlight is not as bright.
