We gave my oldest a Kindle Touch last year when he was eight. My husband was getting tired of having to buy him books every other week and got it for him. He is hooked up to my Amazon account and I send him books that I think will interest him; he also asks me for books that he wants to read.
With his teacher's permission, he is allowed to take his Kindle to school to use for reading time. (He couldn't use it last year but this year his teacher allows it.) I wouldn't let him do that if he had a tablet, rather than a dedicated reader.
