And that is pretty much what I feel on the subject as well. Whether with a multi purpose device or a dedicated ebook reader, reading still requires some sort of discipline, thought is admittedly easier for people who do enjoy reading. At the end of the day, there will always be distractions anyway, one doesn't need a multi-purpose devise to be distracted from reading. |
Exactly. You will still get distracted if you choose to let yourself be distracted. Even when you're reading dt books, you could always find something that you can do instead.

Several of my co-workers have expressed surprise, and stated that they "can't" keep snacks in their desk, or they'd have everything eaten by the end of the day. I'm skeptical about this, but I'm not one to argue. 
For myself, I'm deliberately an "intuitive eater", which generally starts out with "I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT WHENEVER I WANT?? TWINKIES BOX, HERE I COME" and eventually stabilizes into genuinely only eating when hungry because there's no longer any reward/guilt dings associated with the food. |
Lol, same here. I've got, maybe 5~10 different snacks in my desk for when I get hungry. Like with my library, though, I sometimes find myself not having anything I want to eat at the moment. Right now, I've got 4 opened bags of snacks that are unfinished.
Hmm, I guess I'm as picky with food as I am with reading material. Maybe even pickier.
