I do read more now. My eyes get a little more tired from it but I've learned to take more breaks and that helps a lot.
I have a few different phones, none of which have service. I have a free simple phone from Medicare that i make calls on. The others are only used for reading and with my home Wifi.
The reason for several was that I wasn't sure what I wanted, having no experience with smartphones so I bought a few of them when they went on sale. All were very cheap phones but all have screens with plenty of pixel density so they're sharp.
For the most part I find myself reading on a ZTE Zmax 2 and a 2nd generation Motorola Moto E. The Zmax has a 5.5" screen and the Moto E has a 4.5" screen. I find that for reading I really don't care which I use. Both are excellent. But the larger screen on the Zmax is better when I answer emails and such, using my Wifi at home. Either phone works for that but the larger screen makes it easier.
On the other hand the Moto E is more comfortable in my shirt pocket, being smaller. Whichever phone I'm using lives in my shirt pocket from the time I get up till bedtime. One of these days I'll figure out which I prefer.
My best phone, a Nexus 5, is the perfect compromise. It's big enough and yet comfortable in my pocket. It has a better screen. But it's my only fairly expensive phone and that makes me nervous carrying it all day. Also it doesn't get as much battery life as the other two, although since it has wireless charging that's not a major issue. But it's the one that has to be charged mid-day. The Moto E goes all day no matter how much I read and the Zmax will go 2 or 3 days between charges.
