Maybe you've very poor reading / room lights? Some of the LED COG/COB lamps are very poor as are some CFLs.
I use filament stick LED spots and and bulbs, each of the four sticks has about 20+ sub-miniature low power LEDs. The sticks are about 2" / 5cm long on in the conventional glass spot or globe. We have halogen replacements in the kitchen / dining area for better colour rendition and more light. The higher power LED stick/filament lamps are only recently out and only equivalent to brightness of about 75W to 80W incandescent.
Note that almost all CFL and LED lamp brightnesses are overstated.

I don't have great eyesight, I need a decent amount of light. The lower resolution older eink look a bit ugly, but the PW3, Kobo H2O original and Kobo Libra are nicer to read than the laptop or tablet or phone and as pretty to read as any paper book if the font and room/reading lighting is fine.
