It could be, but if I see the same people, in the same public transport, wrestling with their tablets in the same way, every day, for over an hour, then I my reaction is: 'Get a fracking e-ink reader.'
I'm near the German border, and one of the stores just across it has e-ink readers starting at €69. A few weeks ago the basic Kindle was discounted for only €49.
For that kind of money, I'm not going to torment myself.
These people read +/- 1 hour to work (in that train; maybe they travel before or after that as well), and probably, read +/- 1 hour on the way home. That's like 10+ hours a week, or 40 in a month, at least. That's a workweek of reading right there.
Nope... I wouldn't torment myself for 2 hours a day.

No. Impossible. You know why?
