I was reading for a while on my iPad Retina Mini, but now I've gone back to my Kindle Paperwhite because I found there were too many distractions on the iPad, and I did find myself constantly breaking off from reading to browse the web, check my email, etc. A concentrated reading session works a lot better on the PW, and I don't find that I have the slightest difficulty in reading for 2-3h at a stretch.

I still use the iPad just as much as I did before for web browsing and email, but now I make a conscious decision to read a book on my PW, or to use the iPad.
