An e-ink reader does it better because the front lighting is less glaring and the overall image is more stable. It’s hard to get a phone screen to the right brightness level for reading in the dark, but an ereader will have a very dim front light that you only notice when the room is completely dark.

Do any exist with warm colour temperatures? My kindle paperwhite is at least 6500k and basically unusable without an external light source
Kindle Paperwhite 5th gen has both amber and white LEDs and its color temperature can be adjusted. I don't know exactly what light temperature range it has but it feels very "warm" on maximum setting.
Some of the ones from Onyx Boox have customizable cold/warm temperature sliders.
My Kobo Libra H2O has quite a warm backlight, with variable brightness. I don't recall if the colour temperature is adjustable however.
