Those are the people that seem to need an e-reader, but bought a tablet because it can do more, and now often use it in conditions it's not fit to handle well.

Fair enough, I took my Kindle to the beach and left my tablet at home for that very reason. However, the question you have to ask yourself is what proportion of their tablet use time are you seeing? It may be that even though it's sub-optimal for reading in those conditions, that only makes up 10-15% of their total use time, and the benefits of having a single device (and the additional functions a tablet offers which they may take advantage of at other times) outweigh the reading issues they have while taking transit?
