  That report title reminds me of the “rise of the idiots” episode of Nathan Barley!

  Sheesh – why the hell did they exclude online reading? The bulk of my reading’s done online – I don’t buy a newspaper cos it’s out of date by the time I get it, but online it’s always current.
  I can get certain books emailed to me in chunks daily by http://www.dailylit.com.
  I read multiple blogs every single day.
  Just because I’m not reading these things online, they don’t count as ‘reading’?
  Is reading only intellectually stimulating when you read from paper?
  Ohhhh, all the eReader makers are NOT going to be impressed by that, as it implies reading a book on a Kindle isn’t really reading…
