It shouldn't count. That is distracted reading, imo.

So is reading a paperback in a house full of kids or Starbucks.

Making my point for me. A phone, in a solitary environment, is the equivalent of adding a house full of kids or people who bother you

		Do you think reading in Starbucks doesn't count as reading?

Phones and tables come with a "do not disturb" mode, notification control, etc. It's only "distracted reading" if we want it to be like that.

how is it different if I spend an hour reading on a phone or a e-reader? I silence my messages either way.
