Very comfortable to hold a phone, more so than a large tablet.
Even though a phone screen is small, you can set the font size to what you want.
If not my phone...then I read on tablets. I keep thinking that an ereader is so cheap..but I already have phone and tablets and read quite comfortably on them. Why buy yet another device?

Same for me as well, since a week or so.
While I do like to read in peace and quiet at home, I often don't have the time. As I'm in public transport for at least one hour a day, I can just as well read something, and as my hour is split up into multiple short stretches, I've found I'm much more apt to grab my 5.5 inch phone to read something, than my 7.8 inch KA1.
So after I put some books onto the phone, I find I'm reading less news and less sites, and more books. At home, I'd prefer a somewhat larger screen than 5.5 inch, to be honest; maybe 7 or 8 inches, or even 10.x inches with double pages side by side.
As I like Moon+Reader, and it can sync reading position through both DropBox (which I've been using specifically for sharing things such as this between devices) and G-Drive (which I have because I have an android phone), I might just get myself a dedicated reading tablet for use at home.
If I can get one not made by Samsung... but that's a different topic.
