This matches my experience. Ten or fifteen years ago I used to average
about a book a day -- now it's down to about a book every month or so.
For a couple of months, though, I read more than 5-6 books in a month.
There were a few reasons for this:

- I got a driver -- thus giving me more than lavatory time to read.
- I decide to commit to ebooks after realising that I didn't have the
time to visit bookstores or the real estate to store them.

Having the books on my tablet/phone allowed me to grab a few minutes
every now and then through my day to read. My only irritation is that
they tend to run out of juice whenever I want to read.
