As long as they make e-ink devices or equivalent screens until I get put 6 feet under, I am good. I cannot read of phone or tablet more than a couple of pages I found. Since I have to drive myself to work and don't use public transit, portability in such hasn't been an issue. I can see the advantage there if its a long enough ride with someone, or something else driving.
My phone screen is 4.5 inches and I don't know if even 5 inches would be large enough for me to see well. I tried reading on it a few times while waiting in doc offices. Thankfully my waits weren't long, but I found that I had to keep re-reading the same page over and over. Just something about those screens that does not work with my eyes.
And I do agree that if you can put a ebook on a device, it becomes an book reader in that moment. I wish I was as lucky and could read on phone, or even a tablet. Although to be honest, I just really prefer a dedicated device. I am a voracious reader and when I read, I don't need any other function than pertaining to books. Its still the closest to paper for me and I love that.
Since books are like lifeblood to me, I shudder to think of the demise of e-ink readers. I can't read paper books anymore for my eyes, I can't get audio books to work for me cause my brain works different reading and listening.
I'll just go with the flow and hope for the best.
