There is nothing quite as satisfying as gently closing the book after finishing the story
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Or tossing a really terrible book against the wall!

Still read real books, just not as often; back before computers I could read a couple books a week - now it takes a couple weeks to read a book.
Imagine a world without hypotheticals....
You can have my book when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

No. I don't read anymore. I haven't read a book since middle school.

If a book becomes a movie, I am more inclined to watch it rather than read.

Constantly! I've joined three book discussion groups (try Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes, or Great Books), and have six library cards for colleges and public libraries within a ten-mile radius. Add to that a new Kindle with access to ebooks on the internet (check out the Gutenberg project). Fiction (mystery, action, sci-fi) and nonfiction, it's all good.

Just a quick example: what's the effect of policing drugs, if not to evolve smarter and more ruthless drug lords? And what do the drug lords want above all else? To pay our politicians to keep drugs illegal, and profits high.
