I do some reading on my phone, a Samsung with an AMOLED screen. My previous phone had an LCD screen the same size and resolution. My eyes are a bit sensitive so I'm limited in how long I can read without a break on either one of these but I can read longer on the AMOLED screen.
The LCD screen limits me to about 15 or 20 minutes. Then I can take a minute or two break and read another 15 or 20 minutes. If I go longer than that without a break my eyes start watering and I'm soon unable to read for a few hours.
With the AMOLED screen the same thing happens but I can manage about 25 to 30 minutes without a break.
Another benefit of AMOLED is that the blacks are darker so the contrast is a bit better. This doesn't affect me a lot but it makes reading a bit nicer. The real difference, I think, is that AMOLED doesn't have a backlight.
