Hi Andy, this is a provocative post, but unhealthy advice.

First, you can read faster on paper than electronic. http://www.pcworld.com/article/200491/Reading_On_Paper_Is_Faster_Than_iBooks_on_the_iPad.html

Second, students who read paper textbooks perform better on tests then those who read electronic textbooks. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reading-paper-screens /

Third, smart phone’s blue light decrease your melatonin levels making a good night’s sleep more difficult. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/02/how-smartphones-are-ruining-our-sleep/385792/

Fourth, your intended audience looks at computer screens and smartphones most of their day, so it’s hardly a relaxing experience to open another device.

Fifth, to capture quotes you can take a picture on your phone or you can be serious and write it down. When you write down the quote you retain it better. Recently, I copied the first chapter of A Farewell to Arms, it was a deeper experience than highlighting quotes, which I regularly do on this site.

Sixth, paper books are easier to scan because you see more text at once, keeping your spot is easier, and the differences in text sections are more apparent.

Seventh, libraries have more paper books to borrow.

I’ve 91 books this year — all paper. 90 were borrowed from the New York Public Library. https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/5493-2017-reading-challenge . I read on my 45 minute train commute and for an hour at night. I’m not distracted by push notifications, battery issues, or the urge to check my email. I read 80–100 pages a day. The average business book is just over 200 pages, so basically two days a book.

The only reason for reading electronically is that you can do it at work and not look like you are slacking.
