"I enjoy reading on a screen that doesn't make my eyes feel like they're going to explode out of my skull. If this never happens to you, then by all means continue reading on your phone. I'll stick to my e-reader. The battery life is nice, too."

If characters are in danger in one book but fine in subsequent books, then you know nothing really happened. That's why I say that standalone books in a series are not really standalone. There's going to be something to spoil something else when read out of order. |

The display doesn't use power when not updated, only on page changes so I can read without loading in-between. better readability in daylight, less weight of the device.
