I remember the time when it was "reading books on something without paper and ink is goofy in the first place". :)
I gave up on e-ink readers a few years ago and donated a couple of them. I am reading books in eletronic format on iPhones. It's just more practical, I don't need to carry a second and usually larger device with me, and ... I don't need an external light when it's too dark to read. Plus, the newer iPhones with OLED displays are pretty good for reading.
Totally agree. The ability to read on my phone has been such a boon. My close up vision has degraded to the point where I need readers for a paperback, but readers make me ill. The OLED screen on the phone means I can read in the dark without lighting up the room, which is handy since I often read in the middle of the night if insomnia wakes me up.
