I don’t know if recoil in horror but yes, I do like that it’s hard to get to the Internet in my kindle. My brain is not thinking of using it for anything else other than reading. Sometimes even having a big library is distracting so I keep only a few books in there

For me is not so much for news reading, but to store a deeper discussion or thread where new ideas or aspects I want to investigate further are stored.

It’s halfway between reading news and reading books. But It does require leisurely reading to take notes. Then I delete them.

I use the Nook for it's terrific screen. It is an absolute pleasure to read on. I even installed Anki on it (Ankidroid) to study.

Though I happen to be self-disciplined enough to concentrate on the task at hand, I recognize that not everybody is.
