1. I don't cook yet. 2. I haven't cooked yet. 3. I don't read Harry Potter yet. 4. I haven't read Harry Potter yet. (If both #1 and #2 are correct, Aren't both #3 and #4 correct?)

  1 and 2 are basically the same, but with a slight difference in meaning. 1 implies that you haven't learned to cook yet. 2 implies that you know how to cook, but haven't started tonight's dinner yet. 3 is not quite right; you need to delete "yet" -- it doesn't make sense with "don't." 4 is fine.
