Driving or public transportation?
If driving, don't forget that you have a limited amount of attention available and being "productive" as a driver involves some trade-offs X-)
I should have mentioned that, it's all public transportation (train + subway). If I get a seat on the train and it's not too crowded I could use my laptop to code or to read, but it's difficult to get a seat.
You can read easily enough if you have a tablet or an e-reader.
It'd be really tough on a NYC subway. On the train, I could read if I get a seat (because I could use my laptop). A tablet would help for the train when I don't have a seat, but I don't really think it's worth it for that one case
I read my kindle pretty easily on the NYC subway by keeping it near my face/within my personal bubble. I've also read paperbacks there, turning pages one handed in an awk way, but I recommend kindle.
It's also very easy to read while walking with a kindle!
Hm, I think you're right.
Hm, I think you're right.
1) I came to my original conclusion too quickly and without thinking about it enough. 2) That sounds doable. 3) I've seen people read on the subway before (although it seems rare enough that it allowed me to draw my initial conclusion).
A potentially cheap, easy way to get more information about the ease of using an e-reader: get someone you know to lend or give you an old one.
