E-ink is easier on the eyes, especially for extended reading. Same for the lack of backlight.
The screen is bigger than a phone.
The battery lasts much much longer. Reading doesnât need to kill the phone battery when it is on itâs own device.
Reading can be done in places where phones are not permitted (I take my Kindle with me when I take my kids to the pool).
Readers can be cheap enough that it isnât really a problem having both devices.

Definitely agree about the comfort of reading on it. Bigger screen, bigger text and a lot easier on the eyes for extended reading. Also no screen glare when reading out in the sun.
