I'm getting a Kindle Fire 6 for a main reader. I love my Nexus 7 I really do but the thought of a smaller tablet to read on thrills me. I can't believe how many books Scribd has. My problem is where do I look first.
The audio books is perk but I know they have alot kinks to work out. I have Audible and the library to use till then. For $9 a month you can't beat this.
If you have trouble reading on a tablet you own the wrong tablet. My Nexus 7 is a joy to read on. It puts eInk to shame unless it sunlight then eInk wins.
I gave up on eInk after I got my N7 last year my kindles are collecting dust. I keep my PW only as a backup. I can't read on it for long periods of time as it gives me eye strain but I can read on my N7 for hours without any issues.
Not all tablets are equal. They can boast of all type of high specs but if you are going to use a tablet for reading you need to look at PPI of the tablet, the higher the better, Viewing Angle of the tablet (
This is most important) and how much effort went into text rendering. I've seen too many pricey tablets skimp on text rendering and have an amazing screen for everything else. Also turn that light way down when reading. The dimmer the better on your eyes and If your tablet doesn't go dim enough get Screen Dim app which will allow you to go as dark as you want and it has presets you can switch back and forth. I have my tablet set that it looks like I am reading on fancy paper you can't tell it's backlit at all.
