    I don’t know if it’s a “loophole,” but I find my phone to be a pretty good eReader. I did the same with an old tablet (just has the eReader and the book(s)). I’ve never had a real eReader so I can’t really comment on the difference, but if you’re just trying to read, a good app costs a couple bucks, way cheaper.

      Doesn’t it strain your eyes tho? I thought the appeal of having an e-reader is having the screen easy on the eyes.

        My phone is definitely easy on the eyes because I can see my reflection in the glass.

        I’ve always used Android tablets. You need an app that allows you to fiddle with the colors. Mine is dark orange on a black background.

        eReader Prestigio has been good to me.

        Not that I’ve noticed. I can usually fiddle with the settings (some even let you program a day and night mode). But I also state at screens all day, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

      I would call that not a loophole but definitely a nice LPT.
