When I got my smartphone a couple years ago I tried to read on it because I thought it would be handy to just carry around one device. Of course I adjusted the brightness down! But I found I could not comfortably read on the phone for long periods of time. However, I can read for hours on e-ink. I actually mentioned this at an eye doctor appointment and the doctor advised me to stick with e-ink.

Obviously there are plenty of people who can read comfortably on LCD - if you are one of them, great. But please don't imply that I'm an idiot just because my eyes prefer e-ink.
Exactly. I'm not stupid. I know that lower light on LED will help with eyestrain. I also know I have to be able to actually see the words or the screen is completely worthless to me. I've learned to break away from my computer and tablet LCD screens on a regular basis, which helps.
