Hacker News Reader

I’ve been able to reduce my time on news websites dramatically by developing the habit of opening the kindle app instead. Now I (mostly) continue to read my books instead of reading nonsense.

I do the same thing (with physical copies, I don't have a kindle). It's amazing how much more knowledge you can gather by just doing that one thing. Plus the delayed gratification when you look at a pile of books and think to yourself: "Wow, I read all that?"

For the gratification with raaded ebooks I use www.goodreads.com

I even put there audiobooks there, which really go well with treadmill exercising. I love listening to books at 135BPM (walking fast with 5% gradient)

I'm with you on Goodreads. I absolutely love the yearly challenges and how easy they make it to track.
