It is hard enough for me to find the time to do the reading, let alone to also do a ton of writing about it. It especially takes me a long time to write by hand, and is just logistically difficult - where do I put the notebook? do I have to do all my reading at a desk? I can type fast, but this has even worse logistical challenges - do I have to do my reading next to a computer? oh, I'll just go check my email real quick while I'm at the computer...
I sometimes daydream about a dedicated writing machine, something small, but with a full-sized keyboard so I can type quickly, and supporting nothing else but text. Sometimes I honestly think about just getting a typewriter, but it seems silly.
