Higher battery life? The Kindle battery lasts much longer than a phone with the backlight off and in airplane mode.
But again, even if a phone could be used as an ereader, my point is that for most people it is likely not. Even for bibliophiles, they might not get so much reading done on a phone due to the distractions that phones bring.
- falcolas 7y agoThese days, so long as the battery lasts all day (it does, using it as an ebook reader), that sufficient for a phone. Longer is better, but I always have a charger on me, a spare battery for emergencies when traveling, and a charging pad next to my bed at home. > they might not get so much reading done on a phone due to the distractions that phones bring. Short of notifications, there are no distractions on my phone when reading a book. No clock, no battery indicator, no nothing. If I really want to read, I can just go into DND mode, and even notifications have gone away.
- Simon_says 7y agoI meant battery life is now longer on phones than it used to be on phones, assuming you're using it as an ebook reader, which means no radios.
- input_sh 7y agoThat still can't be compared to an average eReader, whose battery lasts for weeks. I charge mine every two or three weeks (about an hour of usage per day).
- Simon_says 7y agoOf course it can be compared.
