It's and apple and oranges situation. They are different products. So there is no fair way to compare the two.

True, they are different products. But there is an overlap in functions. A tablet can do what a dedicated ereader can do, but also do other things. Depending upon how one uses their devices for reading, an ereader might be better than a tablet... or vice versa.
In my use cases, iPad 4 for reading vintage comics, magazines, and catalogs. I'll occasionally use it if I want to read a book in a dimly lit room. I use my Kobo Touch as my primary device for reading books.
