Easy. It's your subconsious that sees the tablet as a generic device, and the e-reader as a (valid replacement of a) book. You don't *feel* the same about them. Therefore you can't get into the book when reading on the tablet.
I can't read a book from a tablet or phone either, or from a computer screen. It just doesn't work for me. That my Kindle now has a nice (fake) leather cover that can be flipped open and closed like a book, and makes that the Kindle doesn't just feel like some piece of technology, just makes the experience that much better.
It's all in the feeling you have with the item.
I have the same with playing the organ. It really doesn't matter if the organ is a Hammond, Wersi, Orla, Roland or whatever, but if it hasn't got
drawbars, my desire to play it just drops about 80% or so.
Some people even go as far as wanting to only play organs from a particular brand, or even a particular type of that brand, but that's going a bit too far for me. That'd be the same as wanting to read only books in one particular genre, and from one specific author at that.
