For the last decade I've only read on 6" Eink, first B&N, then Onyx.
Only in rare cases when I am out without my Eink and hit an unexpected delay will I bite the bullet and read on my phone.

It seems like 10 books a year is an acknowledged threshold.
I'm amazed that something like 1/4 of Americans admit to not reading a single book in the last year.
Book readership seems to be declining. Too much streaming?

It's surprising that ebook readership in 65+ is so low. You'd think that 7-8" devices and larger fonts would be a big attraction for many. Having the duplication of Large Print in libaries seems inefficient.
