That's the reason for the evolution of ePaper based devices for reading. People wanted the paper-like feel and the portability of mobile devices.
You must, hence, understand the difference between the types of displays used by mobile devices. The tablets use back-lit LCD, which, unlike a paper can strain your eyes after a few hours of reading. ePaper Display (or eInk, etc), on the other hand, feels like actual paper and hence eliminates eye-strain.
The eInk Displays, found in devices like Kindle Paperwhite, Kobo Aura, etc are best suited for
reading only and are monochrome (black&white). These displays are simply not suited to watching videos or playing games.
So, if you desire a device for reading books without eyestrain, you must sacrifice the video watching capabilities from that device - and vice-versa.
Nexus 7 is a great device that supports Video Playback but I cannot say the same for eBook Reading
"without eyestrain".
Although Kobo, Kindle & Nook are primary ePaper giants, they also manufacture Tablets which support video playback and
are supposed to provide better eBook reading experience than other tablets like iPad or Nexus.

Sorry, but presently, you won't
ideally find anything that will allow you to do both on the same device.
