I don't really get why people think that multifunctional devices provide distractions. I read because I want to, I play games because I want to. Mobile phones had had games for a really long time. I've read books before going to sleep, with a phone with games on it within arm's reach, and a laptop with even more games on it a little farther away, and I wasn't tempted to leave my book for either.

So what changes if you have a reader with games? While reading you get a sudden urge to play angry birds; if the reader is basic, you wouldn't make the effort to grab the phone, but if the reader has the game, you can't help it but leave the ebook and play the game?

And the biggest problem with the dual screen devices is the low battery life, not the distractions.
