This is what I want to do, but as a husband, father, homeowner, etc, I find it is not in my best interest to be unreachable by phone.

So I think about carrying a flip phone for my telephone, an e-reader for entertainment, and a smartphone in airplane mode for (mainly) maps, photos, music, notes. But then I'd be carrying three devices, which seems worse in its own way.

Probably worth the change ultimately?
