David developed this eBook to see how much the cognitive model of our devices alters our focus. An eReader allows you to switch books at any time; it has menus, a battery indicator, and other things to consider in a moment of distraction. The Huxley book does not allow the user to select a book; it has no menu or battery indicator. It connects to a chrome plugin that selects a likely book you might want to read based on your browsing behavior. Does reducing the options and state of this electronic book make it better for focus?
