I picked up a tablet for reading. Don't get me wrong: eink displays are great for certain types of publications. On the other hand, the slow refresh rates and dominance of small monochrome screens, means that they aren't suitable for other types of publications. So I ended up with two devices: an ereader for day-to-day reading (anything that is an ePub and certain PDFs) and a tablet for things like magazines and the remaining PDFs.
As for the front-light bit, now that I have an ereader with this feature I will comment that it is a nice thing to have. Yet it is not the sort of thing that I'd pay extra money for.
