When I'm reading my Kindle, though, that's what I'm doing. I suppose that is what other activity means. As in, I'm sitting in a chair when I'm reading? Does "watching TV" mean they are surfing while watching TV? Or are people watching Netflix and watching TV? Confusing categories. Most of those categories imply some amount of multitasking.

E-readers are too, to a lesser extent, but I feel are limited by the lack of touch screens. This reminds me of only a year ago when the Ipad was announced.
