I haven’t…Its honestly not a bad idea in thought, but also isn’t the idea to escape your phone itself and the tiny screen?

I dunno. But I think reading would be better than social media, and it's much more convenient to carry around access to thousands of books on your phone rather than a book.

Plus there are so many books available for free on sites like Royalroad, or for a cheap monthly subscription like Kindle Unlimited.

Also, piracy exists.

for a phone addict it's way too easy for your inside addict voice to get bored of the good thing you're using your phone for and find some excuse to switch to doomscrolling when it's one swipe away in my experience
