I've been thinking a lot about why I never read fiction on my phone, despite consuming countless nonfiction articles there. Anyone else notice this pattern? Working on a longer piece about this for my @paragraph newsletter, The Driftless, probably coming out this weekend.

Fiction is supposed to take your mind and imagination to another place. This is difficult to achieve on a phone which is a bona fide distraction device. That's my theory.

Yes, I agree. That's generally the angle I'm taking with my essay: that fiction (both writing it and reading it) requires maintaining a dream-like state that is easily disrupted.
