Yep, because they are the preferred method of reading ebooks. Got to love the emotive choice of words there.
Propaganda? Good grief.

We've done that jig already, right? Distractions are a part of everyday life, either SMS, videogames, TV, kids running amok while you're under your stereotypical kindle tree, birds singing etc.

Yep because it is true. Oh, you forgot that your phone might be ringing as well.

It's up to you to ignore all of that if you wanna read. At least with a smartphone, it's as easy as uninstalling the damned Angry Birds and putting the network down with the touch of the Plane Mode button.

Why would I disable a mobile's phone primary function to read a book? Very strange.
