I tend to read more books (vs. emails/blogs/magazines) while traveling. Queuing and waiting are both good time to read; same for traveling in train/subway. As long as I’ve my Kindle with me I don’t mind waiting nowadays. But I try to avoid reading when I’m travelling in a new place, so I can pay more attention to my surrounding.
On the plane there are more temptations, and I don’t always read as much as I would like. I often waste too much time trying to optimize what movies to watch or music to listen vs. what to read.
I also tend to read more books in countries where I don’t have easy internet access and often enjoy it. This suggests I probably still spend too much time reading blogs and checking emails (or do them too frequently) in my daily life.
