I've always loved to read, any kind of book would do, but recently I've been unable to sit down and read a book, even technical ones. Guess I got used to the instant gratification that Reddit & friends give to the brain. Considering to ditch the smartphone as well.
Actually, I can't ditch the WhatsApp because it is the new phone company these days... Using a very weak smartphone with small screen, too small and slow to read, would be a solution?

- scruple 8y agoMy Pixel 2 is, honestly, a glorified iPod touch. I guess with a radio chip. I don't have it near me to check but I'd imagine that at least 50% of that devices usage is audio. Audiobooks, podcasts, and music. I don't really have apps on it, and I've never really used smartphones apps. For me, it's a communication device that has the storage capacity and capabilities to handle my audio library. I love it for that and it works exceedingly well.
- Mirioron 8y agoI read on my phone. It's the main thing I use my phone for. Before I got a smartphone I basically hated reading fiction (thanks mandatory reading from school). Have you tried reading on your phone?
- dwaltrip 8y agoOne idea: you can try having a "no phone hour" before you go to bed, and hide your phone in the closet or wherever. That might give you some space for reading. The laptop can also be put away during this time.
