Post E-readers and migraines

I own both an Oasis (current version) and Kobo Sage. I suffer from frequent migraines. E-ink has always been better than a backlit screen but now I am noticing that the Oasis is a bit easier on my eyes than the Sage. It’s especially notable when I’m tired or in pre-migraine.

Any idea why one would be easier on me than the other?

I use Bookerly on both. Oddly, I can tolerate a smaller font size on the Oasis. Light levels are comparable. The Oasis screen seems a bit greyer than the Kobo screen, which is whiter. Warm light is set to automatic on both.

Any other comparisons which might be helpful?

I prefer the Kobo software and Sage screen size but I’m definitely finding myself gravitating to the Oasis more and more for comfort in reading.

Any ideas welcome!
