Calibre is great for managing an ebook library, and okay for reading ebooks but the reader is clearly not its primary focus, so I’m wondering what readers folks here use across platforms.
I know of a few, but I’m always on the lookout for different options that may have features I didn’t realize I’d love to use.

I think AMOLED screens might make a huge difference. I’ve read countless novels on my phone with zero eye strain because the black pixels are actually entirely unlit and literally black. This means the brightness for the letters can be extremely low while remaining legible and comfortably readable for hours.

If you prefer eink but want the size of a phone, there are some good, cheap phone sized android eink readers now. You have to hack them a bit to get English instead of Chinese, or buy from a seller on aliexpress who already did it for you, but it’s not a problem. I use a moaan inkpalm and I couldn’t be happier. I find myself reading in the odd moments I have here and there, which is not something I managed to do with my kindle.

The second one. Reading for hours on normal screens doesn’t exhaust my eyes, just a little mental fatigue depending on the type of book or how long I’m reading.
