As most of us here know, both paper and digital support 'deep reading', but digital is simultaneously better suited to 'shallow reading' (as well as watching cat videos, playing games, messaging etc.).

Not with a single purpose reader like a Kindle or Kobo etc.
I don't mind reading magazine articles, blogs, Facebook, and the like, in my iPad or iPhone. But when I want to lose myself in a book, I use my Kobo.
I also think that many people are able to resist the pull of multi-tasking if they want to. Those times when only my iPhone is available, I can manage to resist the urge to check my email or Facebook, if I choose to.
Staying focused is a skill we can all work on. Even in a world full of "headline" drive-by reading.
