It's going to be an individual thing. Some people have problems reading on backlit screens, others have problems with the glare/reflection from the tablet's glossy screen. Different tablets can have a different "feel" too as far as reading at least for me.

2. What can I do to make reading ebooks confortable for the eye ? I don't like night mode (white text on black backgroud), is seems harder to read, so are there any other solutions ?
|
You don't say what reading software you're using, but many have more than just "normal" and night modes. One of my preferred apps is Moon+ Pro and I can set different themes. Sometimes I read on a parchment background with brown text, sometimes dark gray or black with orange or green text or some other combo depending on various factors.

3. Is reading on an e-ink display more confortable for the eye, than reading on tablets with lcd set to low bightness ?
|
It can be for many people. I switch back and forth and find both comfortable.
You mention setting your brightness to 20%. In most of the lighting situations I normally encounter I'd find that way to bright on my devices. On some of my devices I find I need to use the Screen Dim app to set things even lower than the minimum brightness or the device.

4. I never read on e-ink before, but, for reading ebooks 4 to 8 hours per day, is it worth it to downgrade from 216 PPI of an lcd display to 166 PPI of an e-ink display ? I don't read outside, but I want to decide if it is a good idea to invest in an ebook reader.

It's really a YMMV situation and it going to be different for everyone. PPI is just one factor in what can make a comfortable reader (there are eInk readers up to 300 ppi) and some individuals notice the differences in ppi while others do not. You don't say where you are, but see if there is a retailer that sells eInk readers. Then go in and try one.
