For me, I will read on other devices when I don't have an eInk ereader with me but definitely prefer eInk. For my eyes and my havit of reading for extended periods, I find that using an LCD/OLED backlit screen to become uncomfortable after an hour or so whereas I can use my eInk ereader for over 4 hours without any discomfort. I've gone through multiple ereaders with the Kobo Aura One being my current goto device. I also use a Tolino epos which uses the same 7.8" screen as the Aura One but it's firmware is not as advanced with, as an example, font sizing and margins having much fewer choices.
Another reason for preferring eInk is the battery life which for eInk readers is measured in days or weeks compared to hours for LCD/OLED devices. As an example, I can read for 20-30 hours on my KA1 so about a week whereas my Ipad Pro 10.5 allows me to read for 7 hours (assuming I do nothing else during those 7 hours, if I use the web browser, check my mail, view a video, etc., I've been looking for the charger in 4-5 hours.)
