    I don’t know if it’s a “loophole,” but I find my phone to be a pretty good eReader. I did the same with an old tablet (just has the eReader and the book(s)). I’ve never had a real eReader so I can’t really comment on the difference, but if you’re just trying to read, a good app costs a couple bucks, way cheaper.

      Doesn’t it strain your eyes tho? I thought the appeal of having an e-reader is having the screen easy on the eyes.

        I’ve always used Android tablets. You need an app that allows you to fiddle with the colors. Mine is dark orange on a black background.

        eReader Prestigio has been good to me.
