You can always read before the previews come on. Or during the previews, if you have enough light.

I take by kindle everywhere… concerts, movies, grocery shopping, sporting events. There was only 1 time they wouldn’t let me in with it. It was at a sporting event at a local arena, they check bags before you go in & told me I couldn’t take my kindle in and my options were 1- taking it back to the car or 2- leaving it at the guest services desk and getting it back afterwards. Thankfully, we parked pretty close so my husband walked it back to the car. I never take it to this arena anymore anytime we go to an event there.

Better safe than sorry, you can never tell when a movie is going to be a dud. Don’t forget your book light!

Ok…I’ll be that person. I read while I’m waiting for the previews to start. But keep in mind other people who also PAID for their tickets will not want to see a distracting book light or backlit screen while they’re trying to watch their movie. If you’d rather read them go to a movie, then why even go?

I bring a book with me, but one is always in my purse. I am anal about getting into the theater and finding my seat 15 min before the trailers start. I’ll read up until then.

Never thought about taking a book to the theater, but I always have a ton of books loaded on my phone (Kindle and Nook apps), so I’m set if I need one in a pinch. I took a book to a football game once, though. Friends came in from out of town and wanted to drive 3 hours to see Miami play. Nobody would let me out of the trip, even though I HATE football. Expensive tickets, expensive parking, and the day was hotter than Hades (Florida, so a typical day!! lol). Thankfully I took a book. I went into the stadium (after suffering through “tailgating” which bored me half to death), took one look at the seats and the sun beating down on them, and went back downstairs to read at one of the tables until my husband finally brought me the keys to the truck and I went out there to read. Books saved me from a truly miserable day!! lol

Only for before the movie. I would never bother people with the light from the screen or book light during a movie.

I’ve done that when joining a group of friends watching a movie (on the television, not the cinema), and now I think I feel bad about it. I think I was reading an Edgar Allen Poe’s collection of short stories. Do you think I was being a jerk??? I was unable to leave the book ☹️

Considering I once took a pillow to the movies, I’d say no. The question is, will your penlight distract movie watchers? ? My sleeping straight through the movie sure didn’t bother anyone??

We have a theater near us that had recliners. I’ve started bringing my Slanket 🙂
