I've never used one but it struck me as odd that people would use a seperate device for smth so easily done on your phone.

Is there smth special about the hardware? Is it better somehow?

I'm not much of a phone person so tend to leave it places or forget to charge it quite often. Would be annoying trying to read myself to sleep only to find out there's like 10% battery left.
