Yeah, I just open up Lithium and read on my phone. The only downside is to have to cram Brightness in case I'm out during the sun, but the advantage is that I always have my phone with me, and I can read everywhere. Some years ago I uninstalled all my brain rot apps, and made the switch: feel like scrolling, go scroll a book. Since then I have read hundreds of books.

My dream device would be one with a full eink screen + querty keyboard in the front, and a nice 120hz OLED display in the back with a camera that pops up from the inside of the device at the top.

Yea, I read ebooks on my phone for years, even back when I used reddit way more than I use Lemmy and I don't think it being on my phone was a huge issue for me, but I do understand how it could be distracting. My main reason for switching to an ereader was the eink and ergonomics because carpal tunnel was getting to me. I don't bring my ereader everywhere though and sometimes I do miss having it all on my phone for convenience. Really glad you've gotten to read so many books since deprioritizing scrolling.

Let me know once you find a device like that because I'll be second in line.
