I have one boy that reads constantly. I too used a lot of the points here and seems to have worked, thinking about it my parents did the same with me.
I will, however, chime in and mention that we also have a PS3/Wii/PS2/Gamecube/N64/NES & 2 DSs that are all in use, and often played, so the systems being around has not impacted his love of reading. He'll often put his DS down and pick up his most recent book. My daughter is the same way.
I think that point #8 is likely the biggest reason for this, as although I like to game, I often will be reading instead.
