yes, poor me for being the odd one out for not having to bend my neck over reading a 4" screen. i much prefer having my screens at a height that does not require me to look down like i'm a hunchback. the only time i see people holding a phone up to their face is on video calls, but that's just vanity not wanting that up angle look.
honestly, it's one of the things I've always hated about reading books. i've just never found a comfortable way to read. it definitely has to do with why it takes me longer to read a book than other people.
The comment I was replying to described the website as “perfect”, so I expect the website to be accessible. Quite frankly, it doesn’t matter where I decide to read it and on what device I decide to read it on.
HN people praising 90s web design like this as the epitome of design is comedy.
I had a friend who read books regularly on the iPod Touch I gave him (3.5" screen). For a while he was flying multiple times a week so he binged through all the LOTR books and then all the Harry Potter books.
I found it impossible to read on mobile.
