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.
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.  |
how things change
turns out I can't go back into reading on my smartphone. eInk screen is far superior, the lack of any features but those reading-oriented is pure bliss
best of all: I don't spend precious battery with internet browsing on my smartphone anymore - too busy reading
