I read on my phone for years before getting an ereader less than a year ago. Now, I rarely read on my phone. That said, when I do, I still enjoy it. Kind of like coming home again. The advantages to the phone for me are the vastly smoother and faster performance, a wider variety of (Android) apps, quicker and easier internet searches and translations, and the occasional benefits of color. I'm nearsighted and astigmatic, FWIW, and I'm sensitive to bright light. Because of the latter, I keep the brightness relatively low on the phone, anyway, and don't hesitate to adjust brightness when I feel the need. Which I do with the ereader, too. It doesn't bother me at all to read a whole book on the phone.
I got the ereader because I wanted front lighting instead of back lighting and for the dimensions of the device. I was used to reading on a long, narrow phone, but the more printed page-like form factor of the ereader is preferable to me.
Maybe I'll go back to the phone for a book soon to see what it's like to me after all this time. I do use it when I'm out and about without the ereader sometimes, but it's for shorter periods.
