if eyestrain is an issue, a kindle paper white would be best, but in either case the kindle’s e-ink is easier on the eyes than a regular phone screen. it’s still more eyestrain than a physical book, but definitely less than a phone

I definitely like reading on my kindle more than my phone. I always thought the kindle was less harsh, especially because I could change the light temp. was pretty easy.

Not at all. If you put it on dark mode and the lowest screen brightness there’s hardly any light. And you can change the font sizes

I know it’s in the phone app too, but by far my favorite part of owning a kindle was finding out about the dyslexic font.
