When it comes to their vision it'll certainly get worse, otherwise it's kinda off-topic but I'll mention that their posture will also get fucked.

Do any of you use e-paper technology? What's your experience? Do your eyes feel better while using it?

I have an old e-reader. It's a lot better than reading on a screen. My only gripe is that due to its age it's starting to fade at the margins and where lines usually start, there are some ghost images.

i use kobo since… 15 years at least. went through 3 of them (broke one, one just died)
they're awesome. lightweight, integrated lighting, integrated dictionary/translation, adjustable font, space for a shitton of books that you can pirate etc…
they're objectively better than paper books. and yeah great for the eyes. dont expect them to be a tablet though, they're for books, and maybe black&white manga

What about books with complex figures, or even something like a world atlas? The other thing I miss with ereaders is being able to quickly flip through. But I agree that they are awesome.

What do you think books are for? Sitting on your shelf to make you look more intellectual? They are consumable. Mark them up, lend them out.

whats the best way to get a cheap ereader? i feel like these ebay prices are still crazy
