Yes with today's current higher resolution screens it is easy to find good devices to read on. As you get older though, and cataracts start to form, then more resolution is generally better. That is where I am currently as I have cataracts in their early stages but not advanced enough for surgery yet. I actually started reading books on a Sony Bookman way back in the early 1990s, but Sony failed to provide enough new books for it, which were available on MD discs. Later I used Palm devices even though initially they were 160 x 160 pixels. Hard to believe I could read on those 20 years ago, but my eyes were 20 years younger then! I too used Stanza for a few years. Kindle and iBooks, now called Books in the latest iOS and Mojave, are not great, but they are good enough even for my tired eyes. I never used iBook/Books much because Apple never did much with their book store. But I like the ability of Kindle to seamlessly switch between my devices without losing my place or my highlighting.
