You’ve gotten a few replies from people who are talking about e-ink, which I can’t comment on without having used an e-reader, but I nearly universally prefer to read things on a screen bigger than a phone. I guess it’ll depend a bit on your phone’s screen size (mine is on the small side for recent phone generations), but it always feels like the screen is closer to my face than I want, the font is too small to be comfortable, and/or I can’t fit enough on the screen. Plus the aspect ratio of modern phones is very tall, meaning each line of text is pretty short which is kind of annoying for long-form content like books. If you have a big 6.5" screen that’s similar to a small e-reader’s screen size anyway then I guess it might not be as much of an issue though!
Yeah, I get the short lines issue. It’s especially a problem for me for books with figures in them (like textbooks). Too much of scrolling necessary there.
For normal mostly text based stuff, it’s alright for me. But again, I do have a large-ish phone. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
