Well, a tablet is clearly what you need for your wishlist. There just isn't an e-ink e-reader that will do all of these things in any acceptable or even "good" way. Magazines and comic books are particularly well suited to a tablet.

I would also suggest that you need to get a large tablet. Something in the 9" or higher category because magazines and comic books will really shine on the larger category of tablets. Reading books is perfectly fine on the large tablets as well, even if it may be slightly preferable on a 7" tablet.

The problem with LCD displays is that they emit light and usually have glossy screens, which can result in a lot of glare off of the screen. In the old days, the major problem with computer screens was image quality, which just wasn't that good. These days, with displays like those on the iPad Air, Kindle Fire HDX, etc., you don't really have to worry about low image quality. Glare can still be a problem and emitted light is still very real but I think people make too big of a deal out of these factors. For most people, I don't think they cause major problems. I have an astigmatism (my eyes don't bend light properly) and I don't have any issues with LCD as long as I am wearing my glasses that provide full correction for the issue. But there are plenty of people who swear otherwise, and anecdotal battles over this issue are best avoided, whenever possible.

And FYI, eyes get tired doing anything. Even on an e-ink device. I know, because my eyes get tired reading, whether I am reading paper, e-ink, or LCD.

Hope this helps.
