I have Kindle on my phone, laptop and desktop but I never really use it. I much prefer a book. The only advantage to reading a book digitally is that you don't lose your place if the book mark falls out. LOL

Reading on the small screen of a phone isn't really ideal, and neither is reading on a stationary desktop or bulky laptop - and they're all backlit so I don't blame you. But it's a whole different experience with an eInk device. There's a lot more benefits than not losing your place.
I have an iPad, but I just can't do e-readers. My eyes get strained enough looking at the computer/tv screens as it is.
E-readers and I just don't click. I like paper books.
Again - an ipad is not an e-reader. It is a tablet with a backlit LCD screen. E-readers, like the Kindle (Paperwhite, Voyage, Touch), the Kobo and others, have an eink screen that does not create eye strain any more than reading a printed page does.
I see a lot of people complaining about using a reading app on a tablet or smartphone or laptop, but it really isn't the same as a dedicated eink e-reader. I also understand that a lot of people wouldn't spend money for an electronic device that does just one thing (although it does one thing well) - as much as I read and as much as I need to adjust font sizes to be able to read as my eyes get worse over the course of a day, it is very much worth it to me.

I agree with you that an iPad isn't an e-reader.
I have demoed the real deal, and they're just not for me. I know what having bad eyes is like though. I had an infected cornea three times last year to top off horrible without contacts/glasses.
