I use to read on a tablet till I got my Kindle Paperwhite. I agree with a tablet being heavier than a eInk Kindle. I don't have problems reading on the screen as some. I use to read on mine for hours.
My main issue is my Kindle Fire Gen 1 is not made for a large library of ebooks. As my Archive grows close to 5000 I find the Kindle app database corrupting and losing books. I have to rebuild it weekly and this can take up to 4 tries before it syncs correctly. The covers still don't show on non Amazon books sent to the Kindle Fire unless I rebuild the database. It's just too much a hassle and there is still no collections and font choices are limited. I have only three background colors to choose from: white/black/sepia.
My Kindle Paperwhite has features that the Kindle Fire doesn't and it's stable and adapts to any lighting situation. It's really lightweight and I can use whatever font I want on it. I have zero cover issues which is my main peeve about my Kindle Fire.
