I am with Apk on a lot of stuff here. Especially on the having to fiddle with this and that app, just to get decent reading experience on a tablet/phones. And yes, it is fiddling. Just ask Blossom how frustrated I get and how she has tried to help me out just being able to read in a reading app on my tablet/phone. I had to figure it out because of some stuff being epub so can't read on my kindle.
Something always has to be fiddled with and I can't get everything right. I tried about every reading app in the android store and I can't get any to work just right. Usually I can't find a font that works. The kindle app has the best fonts for me. I finally found pocket reader on my Fire lets me use the kindle font caecilia and a few others. But not on my phone. It also has the built in screen dimmer already so that is there. But long term reading?, Nope. Too much fiddling, light hurts my eyes and reflection in day and at night I have to turn the light so low I can't see the letters anymore.
My Voyage, I just pick up and read. Auto light and the letters are always on the top of the surface as close to reading a paperback as I can get. So for me much closer to paper than a tablet will ever be. My Fire6 is also heavier than my Voyage.
Its not just the light for me with prefering and really needing e-ink to read, its how the font looks. Its how its on top, how my eyes don't get hurt and glide over the words. Lots of reasons really.
Who knows what display options we might have in the future. But for now, e-ink is what my eyes and my brain needs for long reading sessions. It just is. Tablet displays just do not cut it for me and hurt. They just do.
