Back to the actual topic, the screen makes for a great reading experience, I had the tablet in front of my eyes all afternoon which is very unusual, usually my eyes get tired of looking at a tablet FAR sooner than that.
I wasn't book reading, more browsing and the like. One thing I do feel against the device as a reader, it is not particularly comfortable in the hand. Trying to wrap fingers around it gets uncomfortable after a while, yet there is not enough side bezel to work very well, you are going to touch the screen constantly. Moreover, the screen has a very SLICK feel, like it will slide right out of your hand. So holding by resting a thumb on the slim side bezel does not feel secure at all.
A case should fix the matter, but this is not the most ergonomic reader device out of the box. After my hand got tired, I kept it in a stand the rest of the afternoon. Oddly, I can hold my heavier and larger Nook more easily.
Anyway, I bought to use as a tablet and only occasionally to read books on. But with a case to make holding it easier, I think it could make a great reader too. I've got Mantano installed, will add some books shortly.
