I agree with the principle - but the apps are ultimately comparatively unhealthy compared to hardware ereaders like actual Kindle.
I rarely use the app as I've normally got the latter with me if I'm going to have time to read.

Comparatively unhealthy. Smartphone screens are essentially shining a torch in your face; hardware e-readers are designed for one purpose only and that includes having a screen that does not tax your eyes - apps are no substitute for them.
