Oddly, I never read much on my Kindle Fire.
I'll still do my outdoor reading with my PW2, so I'm glad I have it, but at night I'm always grabbing the Nexus now. I'm one of those people who doesn't have problems reading on a back lit screen, yay for that.  |

I modified one of the app's background to look just like a paperback page and I use a nice dark font so it feels like I am reading a real book and not a washout newspaper article that eInk gives you. I love being able to switch fonts. I have two fonts that works for me. One for modern books and One for Historical fiction. I get no eye strain whatsoever when reading and my eyes don't get hot like they did with the Paperwhite. |
These new generation LCDs with high pixel density and resolution have really dark black font capability. It makes you want to throw rocks at eInk Kindles!
I doubt an eInk screen will ever have such beautiful font rendering or as dark. I used to have to modify all my books to have darker fonts or bold text, but now I can read unmodified books on the Nexus 7.2 or iPad Mini Retina without any eyestrain, and that is important because modified Amazon books lose a lot of features.
