you are missing the point of reading anything long form


I see what he's getting at.

Last night I watched an episode of True Detectives. Tonight I'll look for a hockey game on TV. Tomorrow I might watch some Game of Thrones. I also have a couple episodes of Better Call Saul on my DVR. I watch (and read) the thing that appeals to me at the time I want it.


If that's how we're looking at it, wouldn't that be the same essential idea as leaving a bookmark and juggling a few books at once?


Of course, but if you are lost in a good book, you don't notice when one chapter ends and another beings. You are lost for hours, and don't think about changing to some other article or paper.


Sure. And with the Netflix model you can binge on episode after episode. There are a lot of similarities.


Another benefit would be the same UX for all text content consumption.


Are you saying you never put a book down and pick it back up later?


Yeah you sound incredibly ADHD.


If I was does that mean it wouldn't be worth building an app to help?
