Posted by [Carolyn Tusinski](https://blog.eink.com/author/carolyn-tusinski) on 2022-11-01 Spoiler alert – I am a compensated spokesperson (employee) of E Ink. My bias is clear. I’m not asking you to trust my [opinion](https://blog.eink.com/ereaders-enotes-continue-to-evolve-whats-next?hsLang=en) – but maybe an objective source? I get that it’s pricey to juggle various tech. Look at all we do on our phones – late night Amazon sprees, look up our exes, pay bills, TikTok & Facebook Reels into the wee hours. But it makes sense to use tech as it was intended – Review Geek promoted this premise - [Stop Using Your Tablet Like an eReader](https://www.reviewgeek.com/121521/stop-using-your-tablet-like-an-ereader/) – and listed the reasons.   **Why ePaper?** Readability - Easier on the eyes While reading with inadequate lighting can cause headaches, the article points out that reading LCD screens in bright sunlight and screen glare reduce readability – and can cause eye strain, specifically, headaches. ![Amazon Oasis Oct 2022](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Amazon%20Oasis%20Oct%202022.png?width=300&height=276&name=Amazon%20Oasis%20Oct%202022.png) Amazon Kindle Oasis.

Unlike LCDs, which use backlights at all times so you can see the image, eReaders use a fraction of that energy for small frontlights as needed in dark lighting. In bright or moderate light conditions – ePaper is reflective, just like paper. The ambient light is enough to ensure readability. I’ll take a few weeks between charges over three times a week for an LCD tablet. Bonus – no distractions. On a tablet, email is a click away. And browsers, and games, and the entire Internet. Not so with eReaders using ePaper displays. Focus, focus, focus. Sustainability No deforestation, no waste – just add more titles to your library. Long battery life and long device life add to the sustainability quotient.   **ePaper is Just the Start** It’s a good start, but not all that is good is about ePaper displays. The real gravy is when the manufacturers build in even more features – like translation links, bookmarking, send a section to email, [eNote](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/shop/digital-paper-tablet) writing capability, OCR capability – some manufacturers support Android apps.   ![Amazon export notes Oct 2022](https://blog.eink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Amazon%20export%20notes%20Oct%202022.jpg?width=300&height=308&name=Amazon%20export%20notes%20Oct%202022.jpg) Image credit: Amazon   What about color? Yes, what about color? Several color eReaders and phones are available. The color gets better with every generation.
