Smart pains can do what as well?
I can read epub or mobi books on an e-reader, depending on the model. I don't have to fight a touchscreen, or get the inevitable migraines from a glowscreen that way. I can't read pdfs on a small screen, but that's just as much a problem with smart pains as with e-readers.
P.S. I have sensory processing disorder to begin with, astigmatism which is hard to correct for, and some kind of chronic illness with flash/strobe and scroll/animation sensitivities among other symptoms. I know post-concussion syndrome can cause similar flash/strobe and scroll/animation sensitivities. I've been hit by a couple cars, but the timeline doesn't really line up. Even if glowscreens are suitable or most people, e-ink has some use.
