For me, the only thing that matters is, can I read. And I cannot read fiction books on a tablet, or any other backlist device like phone. My eyes start tearing up and I get a headache.
I have a 8.9 fire, we have ipads in the house. I love my fire for playing games, surfing a bit and such things. I do not read on it. I tried, but its just not possible for me.
For me e-ink has brought back the joy of reading for me. I had to really put the breaks on reading because of the small font and fading text in paperbacks.
So while battery life and all the other stuff is nice, but in the end, only one thing matters to me. Can I read my books. I would still use an e-ink ereader, even if the battery on a tablet was longer.
That is me though, everyone is different. So if there wasn't any e-ink or equivalent device for me to read on, I would not be able to read much anymore. So I hope they will always be around.
