How poor/thirdworld living do you have to be that a $5-10 paper back is TOO expensive. I don't read more than 2-3 novels a week (usually 1 a week or less) so maybe if you're a REALLY fervent with no income I'd get it but the fee is just so small and the speed of consumption so relatively lax I can't imagine see the importance of ereaders beyond extreme frugality or preference. A libraries closed? Although they might not have your deseried selection.

If you want to read on a cimputer, download f.lux, it reduces blue light and makes a white screen far softer on your eyes and frankly it's a must if you use a computer late into the evening. Eye leo isn't a bad choice either, it reminds you to do eye exercises and take breaks. Other than that maybe increase your display font size

There are other reasons to need PC reading besides income retard, e.g. journal research (a number of which are now online-only) and looking through archived material.

Also bump for interest as I am also suffering with this rn in lockdown. Screens hurt my eyes and aren't anywhere as engaging. I turn brightness down and put my nightlight filter on max but it only helps a little. I guess we either suck dick for printer money or put up with this technology shit.

blue light filter, brightness, contrast

my monitor has different modes, e.g. gaming mode and reading mode and many others.

reading mode basically turns the brightness way down, lowers blue light
