Somewhere in the past, I've commented on the Paperwhite looking like two sheets of glass with milk in between, with letters floating in there, when using the device in low light conditions. It's downright horrible.
I use the front-light to make the screen brighter, setting the strength to make it match the ambient light. As soon as the screen looks as if it's illuminated, it's too bright. This means that, in total darkness or very low light conditions, it's ALWAYS too bright.
With the phone, I've set the background to pure black for the night mode. If the brightness isn't 100% up, it's actually black. The dark orange letters just seem to float in space. (At 100%, it gets to be dark gray/black, and then the letters will be too bright.)

I am absolutely in awe of how good modern smartphones have become, fast, great screens, all day battery life. Direct sunlight is the only situation where I could still wish for improvement.

Yes. My Nokia 6.1 (with SD-card) has replaced my music player, and is now fast replacing my e-ereader. I can do whatever I want, and bar using the phone on full brightness for hours and hours on end, I can basically use it for two days until I need to charge it.
I'm actually thinking to get a 10.x inch tablet for home use. (My 7 year old Tegra II tablet doesn't cut it anymore).
Let's see.
10.5 inch @ 16:10, 1920x1200. That is 215.6 dpi.
That's 8.91 inch across, and 5.57 inch high.
If I'd put two pages beside one another, each page would be 4.445 inch wide, and 5.57 inch high. The diagonal would be 7.13 inch approximately. Aspect ratio would be 3:75:3, or just a little less tall than 'normal.'
I'd get a 7-8 inch tablet, but there's nothing on the market that runs Android 8.1 and/or is going to run 9.0, at this time. And the only useful tablet in this range is a Samsung... and I don't like their huge amount of bloatware.
