I grew up reading paper books and I don't like how narrow my phone is, or how reading for 8+ hours at a time drains the battery so much so quickly unless I attach a tether to it to charge while I read (I don't like the sensory feeling of that phone charger dragging over my body as I shift in bed). Phones also provide too many "quick gratification" distractions like apps and social media. Also, as I get older, I have to increase text size because my eyes already sucked before aging got to them, then they got worse, and large text on a tiny phone screen is ridiculous.
eReaders have better battery life and a bigger screen and are easier to read in full sun without glare washing it out.
