I realize that there are plenty of people that, for whatever reason, do not find it comfortable to read on a phone/tablet. It's just that back in the day, the voices were loud and strong on this forum that "people just can't read comfortably for long time" on lcd screens.
So much "research" was quoted. It's "proven", only eInk is suitable for reading. Was all hogwash. It's simply a matter of taste and the eInk folks are in the minority.
It's like with me and those First Person Shooter video games. They make me sick. Literally sick to my stomach. But I'm in the minority. Most people have zero trouble playing them and do not get nauseous.
And now that "everybody" (so it seems) has a smartphone, and smartphones are large screen devices these days -- very few people will feel the need to pay for and carry another device. Or if they want something bigger than their phone, they'll just get a tablet because it covers reading and lots more. And unlike an eInk device, a tablet isn't locked to only one store. And yes, you can go around the built in store with effort to get content onto your eInk device but that's an unnecessary hassle..
And, shocker of shockers....tablets have actually gotten cheaper than eInk devices. No more $500 iPad cost of entry
