Whereas I hate it with a passion. I don't understand how anyone can prefer reading on a phone or kindle, but accept as an axiom that you (for one) do. I respect your choice, please respect mine.
I hate reading on a screen, especially a small one.

A sincere question because I don't enjoy reading on a tablet but a kindle to me in terms of eye strain is identical if not better than a book.
I agree entirely that the convenience of having 6M books at hand and ready to go at a moments notice is phenomenal, and sometimes I succumb to that argument. For me, the medium then just kills reading for pleasure stone dead, and it becomes "read only if you must."
Books aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future. You can't pick up the latest bestseller on sale in the supermarket, you can't give your e-books to friends an family when you're done with it. And some simply find them easier or more pleasant to read.
Phone reading is only for when you're stuck not being at home.
Well my phone (Galaxy Note 4, 5.7") is also my ebook reader. I can easily read my favourite books and comics while on the bus.
Kindle is fine, but I don't like to bring lots of gadgets while travelling.
Sure, some folks still prefer the good, old physical books, and so do I, when at home.
