Like 8.3 million other people, we bought the final Harry Potter book for our household on Saturday. The huge sales would seem to suggest that people are still engaging in the offline activity. But, beyond the Harry Potter series, I wonder how many people actually read regularly just for the fun of it. Between the people who never liked reading in the first place, those who now listen to podcasts or audio books, and those who read everything online (including Harry Potter), books seem to be getting the squeeze.
What about you? Do you still read books for fun? Or are you too busy IMing, Facebook-ing, Google Reader-ing and video watching?
