Of course, EInk readers are based on brightness differences - but this should also be applications for color devices, because it is known that there is such a thing as color blindness.
The next point is animation. In cleanly designed applications, this can also be switched off.
Then there is the dithering of some simple ebook readers (Kobo); you have to be aware that the rasterization of images can take place in only 1/4 of the screen resolution to simulate 256 gray levels - and I can do without that.
I prefer the much stronger hardware, the large selection of applications and the much better configurability - but pay for it with slightly higher power consumption.
In addition, I am completely independent of the book provider, which is often fixed in branded devices (kindle).
