I'm wondering does anyone own an iPad or other tablet and an e- ink reader?

Aside from being a mobile devices geek like me, what would you say the benefit of having both is? Lets put aside the the argument over which is better for your eyes. What is practical about having both?

I'm asking because I have an iPad and am considering getting an e-ink reader again. My thoughts are:

1. More comfortable holding an eink device for longer periods.

2. Save battery on iPad for tasks better suited to it's abilities. Browsing, navigation, video, writing etc.

I would like to have both but I'm not sure if it's sensible or just excessive. Would love to hear people's thoughts. Do you have both or one and nmot the other?
