They’re also far easier on the eyes compared to reading on a phone (even if you’re using amoled mode), especially if you’re reading in bed in a darker environment.

The sunlight is a huge one for me especially going abroad, my phone on full brightness would be a strain and would drain in a few hours

You can easilly load custom epubs onto kindle, it isn’t locked down like that at least on my older Kindle Voyage - you ofc don’t get xray and highlights etc

Got a massive export of epubs in like 2010 and its still going strong

You can email books to your kindle
