I completely agree with you from using a kindle for many years. I’ve had people tell me that their eyes feel strain but that is completely possible from a physical book too. You need to give your eyes the rest they deserve because otherwise it will take a toll on your eyesight anyway.Scott wrote: ↑19 Jan 2015, 01:32 Even if that were true, I imagine it could only be true of backlit ereaders which are basically tablets. Backlit ereaders are basically the same thing as smartphones, at least on your eyes.
Regular e-ink ereaders are very easy on the eyes. They look just like paper. They are not backlit, so it's not like staring into a TV screen as it is with smartphones, computers and actual TVs. I have to believe that using an e-ink ereader is better for the eyes than using a classic book made of paper. On the ereader, you can adjust the font-size and spacing to make it easier to read, and the lettering/paper doesn't get faded, smudged and bent.
Do ebook readers damage your eyes?

However, taking breaks would be paramount!
Or even switching to audio books every once in a while.

Excess of everything is bad for you whether it's e-book or games. Balance is the beauty of life. You can use night light or less brightness to avoid eye redness and irritation. But who cares, when a book is so tempting that you can resist until you complete an interesting story. So, enjoy your book while turning on night light.
