I am referring to e-readers with the LEDs on the right or left side. And I am also referring to the weight in relation to the ergonomic design (to hold with one hand). Of course nothing prevents you from holding it with two hands, which is what I do in these cases. The PocketBook Era weighs more than the PocketBook InkPad 3 for other reasons, not because of the size of the screen or the battery.

Why don't I adapt to the LEDs on the right or left side? Because the light gradient is in the direction of reading and I find it on every line I read. On e-readers with the LEDs at the bottom (of course, they also have a light gradient), you have one side more illuminated than the other, but not in the reading direction. Personally I find it more appropriate. And that's why, in general, I have less problems with the illumination of these e-readers. I'm not trying to convince anyone that they are better, they just suit my preferences better.
