Works perfectly as a *SECOND* reading device. The one you carry everywhere in your pocket, just in case you have 15 minutes to read.
I already do that with my Galaxy phone and it's AMOLED screen. It's way better than LCD but still I'm limited in how long a reading session can last before I get eyestrain. My limit on a good day with LCD is about 20 minutes. I can go twice that long with AMOLED but then I have to stop for a few minutes before I go on or I'm done reading for the day.

I spent a couple of months reading exclusively on my phone as a kind of test and I was able to do it and it really wasn't bad but I was glad to get back to my Paperwhite and Voyage.

The thing is, I like the screen size and I like Moon+ so if I could have a phone with an e-ink screen with a front light I'd probably stop using my Kindle.

One really good thing did come out of that little test though. I read a lot faster on a smaller screen and when I went back to my Kindle I tried using wider margins and that made a big difference. I'd always set the margins to narrow before without really thinking about it. I'm reading much faster now that I've increased the margins.
