Ebooks: Ereader or phone? (lemmy.world)

Just wondering how people read ebooks.

Do you have a dedicated Ereader device such as a kindle or Kobo, or do you use an ebook reader app on your phone?

I have Kobo Clara BW but I find my phone is more convenient. I do the majority of my reading on my iPhone using the Kobo app.

However if I’m flying out on a long train journey, I tend to bring my Kobo, mainly because of the much better battery life and bigger screen (with better reading ergonomics).

Kobo only. I'll convert long articles to epub and throw them on the Kobo before I'll read them on the phone. Usually, I send them to the desktop, though, b/c it's easier.

Long form reading on a phone sucks; I don't know how people can do it. Oh, great! 7 words per line. That's super comfortable.
