The solution set is a sequence of intervals. For each positive integer $N$, we can construct an interval containing $e^N$. Let

$$\epsilon = \ln\left(\frac{e^N}{e^N+1}\right).$$

Then the interval from $e^{N-\epsilon}$ to $e^N$ is a set of solutions.

You need

$$\ln(e^{N-\epsilon}+1)\geq N$$

and solving this inequality gives the value for $\epsilon.$
