As someone who tried e-readers back around the original Kindle launched, I ended up just giving it to my grandmother because it wasn't as satisfying to read as an actual book. Recently however I gave them another shot (specifically the Onyx Boox Nova) because I started trying to refresh my Japanese and reading manga was easier than other forms of media (lots of pictures rarely wall of texts). The problem is buying manga from Japan and shipping it across the world was a pain and after reading on my tiny phone and that really straining my eyes, I decided to invest in an e-ink tablet. (Partially to use kaku on it but that did not work, however the ability to switch to a dictionary is nice). I also used kobo similar to the author for my app because apparently their DRM was the easiest to break out of everyone which means if they go down at least I still keep my e-books.
