What I want is a book/tablet-sized device with an E Ink screen or something equivalent, the main purpose of which is more comfortable reading (= approximates larger paperback) without running into the risk of my phone prematurely dying. Arbitrary software restrictions range somewhere in between a major issue and a necessary evil, with the balance shifting ever more toward major issue.
The distraction thing sounds very odd. Surely if you had autosync enabled on your phone constantly you'd be disturbed every few minutes? I can't imagine anyone leaving that dreck on as opposed to enabling it every few hours…
