Just wondering how people read ebooks.

Do you have a dedicated Ereader device such as a kindle or Kobo, or do you use an ebook reader app on your phone?

I have Kobo Clara BW but I find my phone is more convenient. I do the majority of my reading on my iPhone using the Kobo app.

However if I’m flying out on a long train journey, I tend to bring my Kobo, mainly because of the much better battery life and bigger screen (with better reading ergonomics).

I definitely prefer e-reader. Bigger screen, no distractions or notifications, and e-ink means weeks per change and no eye strain. I currently have a Kindle Oasis, but I'll probably trade it in for something else in the future to escape Amazon's ecosystem. Until then, I even save longer articles to Pocket and use p2k (whatever its successor is called now) to send it to my Kindle and read later. I think Pocket's still going away too, so I'll have to switch to something else eventually...
