This is just my personal opinion about this difference.
As a reader, I'd always prefer a handheld device that is used for reading only.
Maybe Eink isn't the final solution, maybe we'll see some better display technologies in the future. Maybe even Epub will vanish one day, we don't know that. But I'm pretty sure most readers prefer a handheld device that they can use for reading alone. At least I do.

I read comics and graphic novels as well as prose.
I cannot read them properly on Eink. By using a tablet I can read both prose and graphic novels on one device. For me, that makes a great deal of sense.
Your mileage may vary.
