Net vs. Books
As a knowledge professional I need to stay informed and have a broad base of knowledge to draw from. The Internet does me well in that regard.
I read a lot on the train but have no data connection on my phone. This may change soon and I'm not sure what will happen to my train reading time.
I would think you'd mark the line, like I have, at long magazine or newspaper articles, finding anything longer taking away from content creation (vs. consumption) time. Please don't tell me you even consider TV or movies. Time sucks both.

I think that the shift from books to online is a media shift and a different way of getting your knowledge.
But I still love the good old books.
But back to the "live" world - are business + computer titles NOT nonfiction?

I definitely read less printed material than ever before, and spend more time reading online content - one reason is that magazines/newspapers have been so completely replaced by online media that there's is little value in paying for their content.
When it comes to books, I do still buy and read them, although at a far slower pace than before, and generally they're either biographies of people I admire, or more often, related to technology and marketing simply to give me a different way to read the content of people I generally follow online.

A few months ago I joined a book club with friends and now I get through a book every 6 weeks or so, very pleased with that. And, to keep with my uncluttering/simplifying/reusing ethos, I now get the books out of a library (for the first time since I finished school!).
