I strongly prefer reading in print when possible as well, doubly so for books and longform content. But - looked at from one angle - the printing press has been around for over 500 years. That's half a millennium of refining the look and feel of books and paper to specifically cater to human preferences. Devices made for reading ebooks have been around for like 10 years(?). They've been somewhat commonplace for half of that. E-ink devices and regular tablets are only going to continue getting more comfortable to hold, easier on the eyes, and better at filtering out reading distractions (when in reading mode).
