I’ve never used one but it struck me as odd that people would use a seperate device for smth so easily done on your phone.

Is there smth special about the hardware? Is it better somehow?

    I have a Kobo eReader, it’s mostly because the display is way closer to an actual sheet of paper than anything else. I can read for longer without having a headache, and I even send long web articles to it using the Pocket service.

    The battery life is also incomparable to our phones, which can be measured in weeks on a single charge. It’s nice when travelling, no need to worry about wasting your phone’s battery and spare it for emergencies.
