Hi
I like reading on my phone while taking public transport, waiting for stuff, and even sometimes in bed. So I am thinking of getting a phone that is more suitable for reading. My main concerns for now are the cost, good for me eyes, low reflections.
Any suggestions please.

Yota 2 is outrageously expensive though. Assuming it comes over here, it will sell for at least $800+
You might as well buy a Kindle along with a regular smartphone.
Agree 100%.
But if you've got the cash and don't want two devices but absolutely love reading like I do, it's a no brainer.
Hopefully the next version comes out within a year and the 2 is under $500 ;-p
Something with an OLED screen.
ie Samsungs…
Read in "Night mode" during the day, white text on black screen. OLED uses no power for a black screen.
For reading in bed, I change the colours for "day mode" to be Maroon/Red text on Black.. Red is easy to see and gentler on the eyes in a dark room.
Thanks guys. Looks like the best option for me is to buy a kindle.
Not available until a few months, or even a year in Oz, but the Yota 2 phone has two screens. eInk for reading on the back.

But for now, I'd just get a kindle, they fit in my jean pocket. Lasts 2 weeks. Phone will drain much quicker.
Put reader in night mode perhaps.
But getting artificial light after 8 or 9PM is not good for sleep health.
I used to have a stack of books going concurrently and would take the smallest thinnest lightest book I wanted to read and take that with me on train commutes etc.
Can get the Penguin Classics from library and other thin compact ones like it.
