3. Readability. For me at least, I find an eink screen easier on my eyes. Not to mention it is easier to read when outdoors.
But in the end, every one needs to decide what is best for them.

You left out the weight of the devices. I don't know what a tablet weighs but a Kindle only weighs around 8 ounces and can fit in a pocket as well. Most computers aren't that portable. Even a couple lbs can start to weigh a lot if you have to carry it around long enough. A Kindle doesn't have that issue.
