It's much more pleasant especially in very bright light like when outdoors. And this depends on the device but you usually have a much much lower minimum illumination level too. A phone or tablet on the lowest brightness still pretty much lights up a dark room while e-ink does not. Big difference if you read in bed with someone who is asleep.
- Fraterkes 2y agoI have used my ereader for 100s of hours, so Im inclined to agree. Im just wondering if theres much concrete proof for this feeling. Im using a backlight with my kobo most of the time, at that point is it really much different from a screen on low brightness? I guess more broadly: is all the stuff about screens specifically causing eye-strain true? When I read a paper book all day my eyes get kinda tired too. This is probably a dumb question, but why is there a significant difference between an lcd projecting light into your eyes, vs light bouncing via a bookpage into your eyes?
