I carry a Kindle Paperwhite just for focused reading, but I also have a Kindle app on my phone, so I'll read books rather than obsessively checking email / social media / weather / omganything. I read different books on my phone thank on the Kindle, things that I can easily pick up and put down without having to shift the brain to a different gear. (Current phone read: Everything Is Fucked. Current Kindle read: War and Peace.)

- beat 7y agoI imagine most of the cost is in that wonderful screen. Reading on a paperwhite is a revelation - the next best thing to an actual book, and better than many books.
