I mainly read on my iPhone too. I have a Kindle app and it has a bunch of options to adjust the brightness and font size to make reading experience more enjoyable and comfortable for the readers.

When I was in college I always read my kindle books on my phone! Now, I have such a hard time reading on my phone, no matter what the brightness is set at my eyes get strained so easily!

I read constantly on my IPhone, one of the things that made it easier is reading on Wattpad. Wattpad is pretty much an app that lets you read really good books made from non-official authors. It's also a site where you can discover tons of new books based on your most liked genres. It's absolutely amazing, you should check it out! :) :)

It truly depends on what I am reading if I am using my iPhone. I can read short essays, stories or articles off my iPhone, but anything close to a novel I hate the constant scrolling down or hitting the 'next' button. The screen light does not bother my eyes, but I do have to adjust to it as I prefer to read from a physical book.

I do I do. I loved my kindle but it broke. my phone has the kindle app so I can continue uninterrupted. I always have it, so I can always read. I make the word bigger if I need to read without straining my eyes.

On the kindle app on my phone I can alter the text size so that definitely helps... I'm a mother of two young kids so having the ability to read one handed is amazing - I'm constantly reading on my phone. When I travel it also works really well since I don't have to pack anything :)

I constantly read on my phone, although it's not an iPhone. I even have a Kindle and sometimes prefer my phone, probably because it fits in my pocket.

I read on my iPhone 6 and my iPad mini about equally. If I am out and about, it's the phone, since I rarely bring the tablet out of the house, but if I am home, I use the tablet fairly exclusively.

I do! I've been reading on my iphone since I got it. Before I have the iphone, I read books through my ipod. Hence I'm more of an e-reader than the physical copies. But I want to limit it. It's not good in my eyes and I need to practice reading faster on physical copies since I am more on e-readers and I learn to read faster there than physical copies.

I used to... until I realized that I'm only 24 and developing squint lines around my eyes.
I only read on my tablet now.

I love reading off my iPhone, I travel a lot with my work so I can be found in airports, on planes, buses and trains with a book open and being read. I do not miss putting my book down and forgetting it and leaving it behind. I always have my phone with me thus I always. have my library with me. no more lost books for me!!!

And this is the wonder of smartphones! Powerful little computers we hold in the palms of our hands.

My work requires a lot of travel as well, and I've lost books mid-trip too (which always makes me feel a wee bit bereft and rather angry at myself for losing the book I was reading while in the process of travelling), which is why I like e-books and audiobooks. As long as I have my phone, I have something to read.

Everything I read is on the kindle app on my phone. It is easier for me as i like to read while I travel. And my kindle is very old, like the very first one to come out and it hurts my eyes looking at how basic it is lol. One day when i can afford a newer model, then I will use a Kindle :) Until then, my phone is perfect

On my Ipad, although I have a kindle, I have a mini Ipad and bought a normal Ipad. So most of my reading is done on the Ipad app :D
