I've been reading ebooks on my new Galaxy S3 phone, and I'm a bit surprised by how much I've been using it for that. I have assorted eInk Kindles, iThings, eInk Kobo, etc, but the 4.8" OLED screen on the S3 seems to have hit my sweet spot for reader size/form-factor.
I'm using Moon+ Pro (reads Mobi, ePub, and PDF) as the reading app, and I can tint the background, turn down the backlight, and adjust the type boldness to get an image I can read for hours without any discomfort. Reversing the image (light type and dark background) helps for a variation, also. These kind of reader apps allow one to customize just about everything about the appearance of the text, which is a big deal for me.
I put a double-capacity battery in mine and it stays connected to a charger by the bedside all night (it's my alarm clock), so I don't have a problem with running the battery down by doing a lot of reading.
Of course, I'm fickle and may decide to go back to printed books next week.
