Am I the only one who uses a separate e-reader device specifically to get away from low-attention-requirement stuff like HN?
Putting HN, or any news-ish site, on my e-reader makes me recoil in horror.
- dotancohen 5y agoI use the Nook for it's terrific screen. It is an absolute pleasure to read on. I even installed Anki on it (Ankidroid) to study. Though I happen to be self-disciplined enough to concentrate on the task at hand, I recognize that not everybody is.
