I've never used one but it struck me as odd that people would use a seperate device for smth so easily done on your phone.

Is there smth special about the hardware? Is it better somehow?

The simplicity is great because I can cut out all the internet distractions, the battery life is fantastic, and most of all, my eyes don't get strained nearly as much.

It's just so much easier to look at and hold for long periods.

Personally, my ranking of reading formats is: Book > E-reader >>> Phone/Tablet
