100% agreed. Mine doesn't go as high, but resolution is what indeed allows for crisp reading.

Since I got my iphone in December I'm reading a lot more on it than on the Boox. I use Stanza in night mode even in daytime and love it. I can read a much smaller font on the iphone than on boox. And I've been wearing glasses for over 40 years and am currently waiting for my newest pair.

I also thought that reading on a backlit screen would cause eyestrain but that hasn't happened yet and I'm reading for hours sometimes. Even in the protective case which has a clear plastic cover for the display it's still super clear to read. Love the retina display.

Yes, stanza is the best! I use a custom night theme: dark grey concrete background with white smoke for the text color. No eye strain at all.

I use microfiber cleaning cloths for my computer screens. The microfibers actually feel a little tacky to your skin but easily cleans off oily fingerprints with a swipe and no scratching. Look for them in your auto parts section of your store.
