Kindles are not phones, the parent said "I want a phone that I can read books on, and spend quality time with..."

A foldable phone may meet his criteria, a Kindle would not.

Right ... the point is, I can do higher-quality reading without carrying extra devices around.

How do you access the kindle when you're not at home?

Based on the voting pattern at this point, I think several people may have misunderstood his last comment. He is the original person to post in support of a better phone based reading experience, not the Kindle advocate. So he prefers to carry one device, and uses his phone to read.

Yeah, I'll admit I didn't notice that. My apologies.
