NO, I read my PDFs on my tablet.

I love the bigger screen, it makes my reading experience so much more like reading a book and not reading on a device.

I like that I don't have to turn pages so often.

I am either reading at home or if I'm out I carry a purse/handbag so pocketing it is not an issue for me.

The reader is very light and balanced, so it is easy for me to hold it and I always read lying either in bed or on the couch.

I don't know if the orange light real helps me sleep better but I like it a lot as I read with the lights out at night and the orange is softer and makes reading at night much more pleasant for me.

And why exactly would it be ungainly in bed at night? It is lighter than a paperback, so what makes you think so? And even if someone doesn't like to hold this size of reader or its weight, this doesn't make it a universal experience. Some do and som won't, like all things on earth. Maybe you should just go into a shop and try reading on one before you jump to conclusions about its ease of use, then you can decide if it is easy to hold for you or not.
