I recently started transitioning away from using my phone for everything to having dedicated devices and I quite like it.

I have an Analogue Pocket I buy second-hand game boy cartridges for, I have an e-reader on which I read e-pubs, etc.

The “integration experience” is _a lot_ tougher. I can’t buy games from an App Store and I need to plug in the reader to Calibre to get my next book… but the actual user experience is so much better. I don’t know if it’s the dedicated hardware or the uninterrupted experience or something else… it just lets the content shine through much more clearly.

I’m an app developer and I strongly believed that we can have one device replace pretty much everything else almost perfectly… but now I kinda wanna try having a Walkman and getting rid of Spotify.
