@hilde45 I’m not sure I buy the attention span argument made in the article you referenced. I’m a member of r/kindle and from people’s self descriptions it is clear many younger people buy kindles to sit and focus on reading. Younger people sit and focus on binge watching episodes.
My kids’ generation have no spare money for capital purchases and can only afford cramped accommodation. You need both to have even mid-Fi. A soundbar takes no space, decent speakers need room to breath. A kindle is only $150.
