Move over, Valentine. Looks like tablet owners' favorite place to snuggle up with iPads and Kindles may be the bedroom. That's according to a recent study from Publicis Groupe agency Rosetta. Sixty-eight percent of 889 respondents said they or their families regularly use tablets in their bedroom -- more than any other location.
