My tablet is better than my ereader at anything I want to do.

Except reading. The ereader is smaller, lighter, thinner. Longer battery life, up to 2 weeks (for me). No backlight. Reading in full daylight and sunshine. And I don't want a tablet the size of an ereader, and don't want to do multimedia stuff on the ereader.

That is why I have both.

Ereaders and tablets will someday merge. We'll get full color, super fast eInk, or we'll get non-reflective LCD's that can be both backlit and frontlit. But not yet....
