I like both multipurpose and single purpose. The biggest advantage of the single purpose device is that the battery power lasts. Try going to the ER for 13 hours (you spend most of your time waiting for tests to come back) with a tablet. Mine turned off after about 4 hours. Yes, it drove me nuts. I normally always have my Kindle in my purse for this reason AND I make sure to keep it charged.
