I definitely relate to your first comment. I purposely bought an older Kindle so that I wouldn't use the device for anything but reading.
I find it really difficult to concentrate on a book in a short time span, like a fifteen minute bus ride, especially if I don't have a companion to tell me when to get off the bus. I like the idea of using otherwise underutilized time, but for me it's difficult in practice.
It sounds like adding a timer/alarm clock to readers would be a good idea.
You mean so I won't need to worry about missing my stop?
Exactly.
I think every cell phone in existence has a timed alarm. That's what I use when commuting.
Is this really a problem with something like a work commute which you take every day and which is the same every time? I've read smartphone books on the bus to school or work for something like 8 years now, and being fully aware of where to get off has never been a problem after I've ridden the route a few times and become familiar with it.
