It's a completely different experience. When I tried reading on my tablet, I found myself constantly fiddling with the apps settings to get the background, brightness, or font right. It was like having a pair of shoes that didn't quite fit right. And, quite bluntly, I like the built-in software in my Kindles, Nook Simple Touches and Sonys better than the Android reading programs I've tried. That's why I've got zero interest in rooting my eInk readers and turning them into tablets. If I read more PDFs or textbooks, I would probably use a tablet for that, but for fiction I don't see any advantage to using a tablet. The eInk interface, to me, is just "cleaner" and simpler. And, since I obviously have no need to do all the other things people do on tablets, it does what I need. And battery life and weight of the device (not the mention the eInk interface itself) are just more good reasons for me to choose an eInk Reader. Obviously not everyone is the same.
