Physical books are irreplaceable to me. I love the feel, the smell, and having a house full of them. Just went to a library sale this morning and got even more.

I also really need a break from screens, and reading a book is a great excuse to not be on my phone or watching tv.

Reading a book is also relaxing in a way that reading on a screen is not. It just feels more, I don't know, laid back? I have no idea how to describe that.

It's just better on the eyes. I've tried the Kindle too. Nothing is comparable to printed ink on paper.

Speak for yourself. Black text on white paper is unreadable. Too much glare. There is no dark mode for printed books with only a few rare exceptions.

I wonder if wearing brown sunglasses (brightness-reducing contrast-enhancing) would work well for you.
