Do you turn off your phone when you read?

[Flora Posh]

No, I'll just ignore any incoming calls or messages unless it's important.

[Jay Peter]

I just put it oindo not disturb mode.

[Michael Adam Glidden Forteski]

Lately I have been able to do most of my reading via the Kindle app on my phone - so there's no need to turn it off. Also, as a parent, having my phone on is vital in the event the kids need something.

[Nina Vanderbilt]

No, because you never know what urgent can happen. I am always available, just in case.

[Wisely Time]

I do not turn off my phone when I read. My type A personality makes me think I might miss something important. I will check what comes in and if it does not require an immediate response, I will wait until I am finished with a chapter to respond.

[Jay_shon03]

I don't. I always use my phone to check for stuffs relating to what I'm reading

[Hazel Mae Bagarinao]

No, I don't turn off because all my books are ebooks and store in my phone. But I wish I have many physical books too.

[Hubre De Klerk]

I read from my phone, so this is a definite no for me , but I do tend to ignore ay messages and notifications while reading.

[Scott Fling]

No, I don't turn my phone off when I read. I think you need to have a balance, although I really love and enjoy reading it is important to stay in touch with life as well.

[Carlos Mata Saenz]

I'm afraid I never turn my phone off. In the cinema, for example, I put it in flight mode, or if I'm sleeping on not disturb, but I never turn it off...

[AlexGrav]

No .. but then nobody calls me anyway

[Paul Link]

No, most of my reading is on my phone while on the subway.

[McAlpine]

Yes! I most certainly do! It is important to approach books with a singular purpose. I know that multitasking is a great skill. However, undivided attention is necessary to respect authors' efforts. It is necessary for full comprehension. Stories come, and go. I want to recognize what stories mean, while I are still looking at them. There is always time to consult the answering machine.

[Daniel Lopez 10]

Of course, No phones, No TV, No noise...I hate reading with any kind of interruption, this can you disconnect you from the book and then you have to read again.
