Yes I was the same. I swore blind that I would never cross over to the to the tablet side for reading but that all changed when I got my first iPad a few years ago and DL'd the Kindle app. I love the feel of flicking a page but, I simply could not go back to reading and carting books round any more. I have well over 1000 books on my iPad now from when I started DL'ing them and it's just marvellous to be able to go into any book that I want to read. I do still read the odd physical book (that can't be downloaded or isn't practical to read downloaded) but, I generally only buy them to collect now.
If the background is a pain, there isn't a great deal you can do other than what has been suggested. I find if I'm in bed, I turn the brightness down to minimum and that really helps against the glare and strain. You can also change the background of the page and the fonts which helps. Like Theydon has said though, reading on a glossy tab isn't for everyone and you'd be perhaps better served with a Paperwhite or E-Ink which is just like reading a book and you can read them outside.
My only grip with those is that they are too small. So I went for a E-Ink DX from the States purely so I could read outside. |
