While I agree that this sounds like all the drawbacks of an ereader with none of the bonuses of a phone, I think compartmentalisation is a pretty big factor. If the back of your phone is for reading, some people will be less likely to get distracted while their phone is flipped over - even though they’re literally holding the likely source of their distraction.
Edit: I feel stupid, but it occurs to me that you don’t have to have it attached to the back of your phone. I’m actually considering getting one now…


To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.
