Tablets are not made for reading hours in a row, ebookreaders are.

I don't think it's so much the refresh rate, which is fast enough to be imperceptible, even at some subconscious level, but the emissive light, glare, and visible pixel structure. But even then, some people claim not to be bothered by it. The other thing to consider is it's a lot different to sit at your desk and look at a large screen doing work versus relaxing in a comfy couch reading a tablet size device for leisure.
I still prefer reading on my kindle than iPad, but I wouldn't attribute it to refresh rate. We're not talking about those old CRTs with noticeable screen refresh.
