I don't stare at the walls, I read the news or articles on my phone. Besides, I don't want to read fiction all the time. Sometimes I want to read Wikipedia or the like, and my phone is good enough for that.
I don't work full time and have no family living with me, so I have plenty of time and space to read at home. I think that's spoiled me; I no longer want to read novels anywhere else, much less somewhere as uncomfortable as standing in line. And it's not that often I even have to stand in line nowadays, because I don't keep conventional hours.
