For me, reading is an escape; from both reality as well as technology. I stare at a screen all fucking day; the last thing I want to do is stare at one during my downtime.
So; I cordon off time every day to read and not touch my devices. Even though I subscribe to streaming music, I prefer to read while listening to vinyl. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with anyone choosing to read ebooks or do audiobooks; they're just not my preferred way to do it.
That’s not what the person I was replying to was complaining about. I don’t know why you put this unrelated (and perfectly valid btw) opinion as a response to me.
Sounds like you just chose the wrong device. My Boox does none of this. I just put the epub file in the device and read it.
