With so much progress on the electronic arena, people just forgot what really matters when reading ..
-Proper light (indoor or outdoor)
-Low or no glare
-No distractions
-Of course, a book (ereader on this case) with nice and clear fonts
-Good contrast
So far, I think that only eink devices have been able to provide all or most of those reading requirements. Tablets are getting better, but the glare issue, poor battery life and price, are still things to be considered prior buying one, especially in South and Central America, were minimum wage is not even enough to buy a Kindle 3.
I don't want a tablet as dedicated ereader. I have one, but I find myself reading on my Kindle again and again. Because it is not heavy, I don't need to charge every other day or so and I can read inside, outside, wherever I need or want as long as there is enough light; same conditions since books were invented, maybe even better now.
Tablets are multipurpose devices but with too many distractions, too expensive and not light enough to beat current eink readers.
