Physical media? Rarely, I don't recall the last time I read a book or magazine.
Digital media? All the time. Love reading articles and fiction online, just don't care much for the physical object it's often printed on.

Since kids unless I am reading to them, I only get to read books when I donate plasma twice a week. an hour of peace and quiet is worth the pint of plasma.
They let you donate plasma twice a week?! I thought there was a much longer cooldown period...

Plasma up to twice a week with at least 48 hours between the donations, whole blood requires a 8 week cooldown, and a double red blood cell at least 16 weeks.
I mean, not while you're on the train to work, or sitting in a waiting room - but actual dedicated time for reading?
I know that ever since I became a parent, I basically have zero time to do that anymore. I used to read lots of magazines, tech or other, in the afternoon. Books, not so much during the day, but usually in bed before turning off the lights - but even this has pretty much come to a halt: my habits have changed, and now I go to bed when I'm too exhausted to stay up anymore, and wouldn't be able to actually read something.
But I know that lots of people love reading books (it's not that I don't...), and you know, there's the whole curling up on the couch in the winter with a hot chocolate and good book kind of stuff...
