1) Online: I just skim articles to find something that interest me. I am not in "knowledge absorbing" mode at this time. It's mostly just fun/boredom. I try to limit how much time I spend reading online. Offline: I read for either knowledge (business books, non-fiction) or for pure pleasure (fiction). For both the cases, my kindle has my full attention. No computer, no mobile phone, no distractions.

2) If the word makes no sense, I will check the meaning. However, if I am not completely sure about the meaning, I might still carry on as it helps not to get distracted from reading.

3) I read for 3-4 hours at a time and make sure it is at a time when I have peace and quiet and uninterrupted time.
