Hi can anyone please suggest a cheap ebook reader or phone that can work as a reader?

I used an AMOLED phone before this as a dedicated reader and it was great because I read a lot at night. The black background really helps with eyestrain at night. But it is having a lot of random restarts lately and I think it is probably time to get a new reader. The phone is >5 years old.

How is the Kindlewhite when it comes to reading in near complete darkness?

I have the same question as well.. KOBO CLARA HD? POCKETBOOK? ONYX?

why not just buy a phone , and download a reader that has dark mode , eg moon reader

ipad mini is good for reading...

Most likely I will look for another cheap AMOLED phone. LCD screens are ok but not so good at night. But how does the Kindlewhite or other e-ink readers fare at night? Especially those with built in lights?

paperlight is soft to eyes at reading in dark environment

I personally own a Kindle 5th gen without backlight and a Kobo Clara HD. If there is adequate lighting, I choose to read with the Kindle coz I can hold the screen without flipping a page. Otherwise, I'll read with the Kobo. I chose Kobo because it has a warm backlight.

If you read a lot, esp those paperbacks, I would recommend a Kindle. Else just stick with your tablet or hand phone.

Thanks everyone, I am going to stick with an AMOLED screen because of the night reading.
