Not necessarily. I liked these sentences in the article:

And there's a further, seldom-considered advantage of buying an E Ink, monochrome e-reader: Some may appreciate visiting what we like to call "E-Reader Island," a place where the audio, video, and social-media temptations of tablets just aren't there. And let's face it, students are forced to read, so don't they deserve to use a device that's dedicated to reading, and the kind best at simulating eye-pleasing paper?
I think tablets have a lot of advantages over other devices. And right now there is no better solution for reading PDF files than a tablet. But this might change in some months. I think in autumn 2014 we might have much better mobile devices to study PDF files than we have now.
