Yeah, the fact that my Kindle can't do anything other than read books is its best feature. Same with my Remarkable for focused writing.

Not only that, but multi-reddits as well.

I've just got a bookmarks folder full of my favorite multi-reddits instead of a single Reddit bookmark to the front page.
