The e-ink vs tablets thread doesn't consider the eye condition of the person reading.
In my case, before my cataract surgery, my eyeglass prescription was at the -14 correction; the "warm" light made my eyes tired & I became sleepy just like using the "warm"/orange light of an e-ink reader. The -12 to -14 lens correction means that a person could not see the big E standing a 1 foot away; just a black blob.
I use the "daylight" light bulbs in my home as the 'soft white' bulbs made my eyes tired; I need to have the reading lamp light bulb at the 250-300 watt range for me to read a paper book. The reading environment did not change even after cataract surgery; I do believe that the light entering the retina still need to be brighter than the younger person with 20/20 eyesight or close to it.
I have looked at the large print pbooks at the library & feel that the tablet is the best way to read as the large print books just look like a blob of black on paper.
Now, I just need to use reading glasses for reading but not for driving. An e-ink reader is not for everyone. My ereader collection includes 3 ereaders & the the best one is the Oasis 2; the Kobo & Likebook are stored away; the preferred ereader is the Samsung Tab S5e; the ipad is useless for both as an ebook reader or manga viewer/reader.
