Speaking personally, it's just that non-eInk displays are simply what I have to work with and they don't bother me to read on. ~~I'm kind of confused, given that most displays don't use e-Ink...Do you minimize your web browsing as a result, or is it different compared to reading ebooks for you?~~
Disregard the question, rereading your post you address it, it just hadn't fully clicked as I've not talked to many people with your experience.
I think AMOLED screens might make a huge difference. I've read countless novels on my phone with zero eye strain because the black pixels are actually entirely unlit and literally black. This means the brightness for the letters can be extremely low while remaining legible and comfortably readable for hours.
If you prefer eink but want the size of a phone, there are some good, cheap phone sized android eink readers now. You have to hack them a bit to get English instead of Chinese, or buy from a seller on aliexpress who already did it for you, but it's not a problem. I use a moaan inkpalm and I couldn't be happier. I find myself reading in the odd moments I have here and there, which is not something I managed to do with my kindle.
The second one. Reading for hours on normal screens doesn't exhaust my eyes, just a little mental fatigue depending on the type of book or how long I'm reading.
