"...The owner of a Kindle and an iPad, Mr. Jacobs [ an English professor from Wheaton College]  feels he reads more now because of technology, not in spite of it.

"Pre e-reading, I watched more TV because if there wasn't something I wanted to read near to hand, I would just pick up the remote...."
