Why do people buy kindles instead of just reading books on their tablets or phones?

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?

All the things you said are true. I would like to add that along with being lightweight compared to a real book. It’s also uniform in size so no hand cramps like if were reading a big hard cover.

And the newer ones allow to read in full sunlight without any glare.
