I have a partial solution for you but it may not be enough. When I had an LCD phone I as limited to about 15 and sometimes 20 minutes of reading per session. Then I could take a short break and do it again. So I could get a lot of reading done and I found the breaks to be useful. 5 minutes to think about what I'm reading.
Actually that's another possible solution for you but it's what I had in mind.
Then I got a Samsung Galaxy 5 phone with an AMOLED display and by experimenting I found I could easily read a half hour per session. Longer than that and my eyes were done for but that nearly doubled the length of my sessions.
After I got this phone I did some experimenting. I planned to read on it exclusively for a month to see how well I did. I ended up doing it for 2 months and then I went back to the Kindle. At the moment I'm reading my second consecutive book on my phone again. I'm not sure this is the future of reading for me but it's probably going to be part of it.
I've decided that if I have to I could do all my reading from now on on the phone. I don't have to and I'm glad. Sometimes I really enjoy those long sessions without a break. But most of the time I have to take breaks anyway so it's not a big deal.
In case you're not aware, LCD has a backlight. The LCD itself emits no light, it only changes color and tone value. The light is provided by an LED behind the LCD that shines through the screen ... and into your eyes.
AMOLED works a different way. Each pixel is a Light Emitting Diode or LED. There's no need for a backlight. That means greatly improved contrast and also far less light shining into your eyes.
E-ink is better yet. It uses reflected light, which means less light yet gets into your eyes. It's sort of like reading by lamplight. No direct light shining in your eyes.
Anyway by taking the breaks and by using an AMOLED phone I've really improved my phone reading. I also mostly use Moon+ and I like it.
By the way I often read the same book on my Kindle and on my phone in Moon+ and I've learned to use the search feature to manually sync. I've found that I can pick up the Kindle (or the phone) and enter a 2 or 3 word search phrase and find my place faster than the Kindle can automatically sync. Moon+ syncs faster than I can manually but I can beat the Kindle nearly every time. I have a few Kindles so it's something I've done a lot.
I hope this helps a bit.
