It depends on what I want to read. PDF's are read on a tablet, no contest. Novels are read on an e-reader.
The reason why I'd never read on a tablet is because I often read in public transport: busses and trains, and in stations while waiting, often outside. If it's a bright day, the screen becomes very hard to read even at the highest setting, and the tablet will burn through its battery in a very short time.
An e-reader handles that scenario without blinking an eye (or LED). As it's one of my most important scenario's, the e-reader still has the upper hand.
If there's not enough light (in a bus or train, especially in the winter, when it's dark early), I can just supplement the ambient light with a bit of the reader's own front-light. It will still look good, where a tablet will start looking illuminated and "shiny".
Oh, and reflections are another big one: the KPW reflects *much* less than my tablet.
