According to Read It Later, mobile devices are helping people avoid the constant barrage of information and relegate reading to their most comfortable time slots. "Printed media used to allow us to
read in the places we found most comfortable," the company writes on its blog. "Unfortunately, as news and media moves online, it moves us away from these places and into our desk chairs. Even worse,
consuming content is no longer on our own schedule. The flood of content disrupts us all day as if we have a maniacal paperboy throwing new editions on our doorstep every 15 seconds."
With the Read It Later app, those users with iPhones and iPads are shifting their reading times back to the most comfortable times - during breakfast, the morning commute, the commute back home and
the very end of the day.
