Okay the Ipad: could it be a better or more comfortable aalternative to say reading on the go/the couch?

Don’t have one but have been thinking about it

Would recommend because bigger and more beautiful screen than a kindle/book.
Woudln't recommend because all the other apps can be a distraction 😂
