What sentiment, that the only choice is a dedicated reader or a " distracting phone"? The distractions can be disabled, and again, IMO, a tablet (or phone) can function just as well as a dedicated ereader.

I do have a dedicated eink reader, and it depends what I bring along. If it is just me, I bring the reader (and a phone). If I'm with someone else, I just bring the phone. I have a very small smartphone. If I had a larger screen smartphone (I do not want one), the choice may be a coin flip.

The analogy makes no sense. Just say that different people have different preferences, and he/Amazon/Marketing believes there are enough people that want a dedicated ereading device.
