Because the glare of the phone or ipad/tablet destroys the eyes. Since Covid many people including children are having eye strain problems. You can also read an e-reader in the dark without waking someone else. I think my phone has a greater chance of being "smashed" then my kindle and I no more lose my e-reader than my phone.
