No Lcd is better than e-ink for reading.

And the iPad is a distraction device, one would need to disable everything in parental controls to get a comparable experience :)

Well it saves you from all the software issues described in the article as there is a mature and powerful ecosystem, so reading, annotating, sharing and syncing pdfs is not an issue.

I read a ton of pdfs on my iPad and am quite happy with the experience. Yes, epaper would be nice, but I don’t think there’s a good solution yet.

Distracted? Try the pomodoro technique.

Pomodoro technique is for time management, not managing all the distractions you likely have on your iPad. From notifications to being able to "alt-tab" into your vices like HN.

While I agree that an e-ink display is much easier on the eyes, you might be able to get a distraction free experience from an iPad by using the Do Not Disturb-Mode, though I'm not sure if that mode will hide notifications while the device is in use.

The disturbances come from all the apps unfortunately. Browser, games, movies, etc.
