I'm not compromising when it comes to e‑readers, honestly—they're what I need. There's no glare like you get with paper, and they don't burn my eyes. I read on a tablet for ages, but there was always some unease, even at the lowest screen brightness I still struggled. When I finally got a Kindle, after reading comfortably at night I kept thinking I’d made a mistake, wondering why I didn’t buy one earlier. Portability is practically zero, just like that—you can carry all my books on a single device. And the audio thing works too; if I want to listen while walking there’s no speaker, but plugging in headphones solves it.
As for tablets, they’re just not my thing. Sure, a tablet screen is big, but the brightness always gets in the way. I tried reading a project document on a tablet and it was scroll after scroll after scroll… eventually my eyes got fatigued. Even if you wear special glasses for tablets you still feel the screen’s harshness. A smartphone is the worst option: the screen is tiny and you’re constantly scrolling. In my experience the most reasonable choice is an e‑reader; it gives me the same comfort I felt reading books from 300 years ago.
