Some discussion of a poll of British readers that reveals that people read trashy books on their e-readers, whilst filling their bookshelves at home with autobiographies, political memoirs and serious books.
In the Independent,John Walsh laments that he has been forced to read Jackie Collins for work-related reasons - and admits that although he's a technophobe highbrow he wishes he had a Kindle to spare him the embarrassment.
The Daily Telegraph's man says he's not ashamed of what's on his e-reader, admitting that Jilly Cooper's Polo is his third favourite book and that reading trash is not "shorthand for moral degeneracy". A sentiment Paper Monitor wholeheartedly agrees with.
Debate about the part-time nature of the St Paul's protesters rumbles on - with the Daily Star jumping on the thermal image bandwagon to highlight the number of empty tents.
The Guardian has spoken to a military scientist who says the claims that one in 10 tents remains empty overnight is based on "rubbish science".
And the Daily Express has set up its own one-man camp at the home of a St Paul's protester.
Meanwhile, all the papers have pictures of this year's must-have children's Christmas toy - a plastic sausage dog that poos plasticene after you feed it. Not something for Paper Monitor's wish list.
