Gotta say, my mind has been changed, somewhat. I recently got my grandma's old Kindle 4 (not back lit, no touch screen) and I've got to say that using that might be my favorite way to read. It's easy on my eyes and there's enough customization that I never have a problem with fonts being too small. It's also super light despite being larger than a phone, so it's super convenient. I still wouldn't want to use it to read textbooks, TTRPG books, or anything you have to flip back and forth in a lot. But, for my novels and light novels it's great.
