Have you used an e-ink reader? The difference is remarkable. My Kobo battery died this morning, so I finished the book I was reading on my iPad, which was fine, but much less pleasant.
Besides, it’s not just about the screen. The lack of distractions in a device that serves only one purpose is just as important to me.
I’ve looked at e-ink readers multiple times since they first came out and they are all garbage. Low resolution, trash images, garbage refresh rates, slow page turns, awful white levels.
I literally see no reason to ever use one over a nice phone or tablet display which, by the way, can be used for other content options besides text.
I don’t buy the need for e-ink. I’m on normal LCDs for… way more hours than I’d care to admit. No strain.
Congrats. You won the genetic lottery and was awarded some top tier eyes.
A lot of people were not.
OOT but after 12 years being the only person without glasses in my family, I’m getting my glasses this week :(

Disagree completely. I’m on LCD for hours as well, but reading on E-Ink is so much more convenient

They’re complaining about refresh rates and images, so I’m thinking they aren’t. I’m waiting for ‘you can’t watch a video on them!’
