    Getting actual E ink display led to me reading more, since it’s comfortable to hold compared to an actual book but easier on the eyes than a smartphone.

      I feel dumb saying that books aren’t ergonomic… But they aren’t! I hate holding them open so much. This should be a minor complaint, but it’s a huge benefit of ereaders to me.
