Interesting. I am in transition from eink to tablet as we speak. I used to swear by eink before. At the end of August I subscribed to paid library and had no choice as to read via app on a tablet. Suddenly it doesn't bother me anymore and I can read for hours. At night I put blue light filter and the screen becomes brown, yellow or neutral, depends on choice. Battery doesn't last but then again it is a 3 year old Chinese knock off tablet that was in my cupboard, hardly used. I even took it on the bus to work and could read fine. Recently I have been eyeing large screen phones like Moto Style X or Galaxy Note 4.
As to Waterstones they had Kindles here in Brussels but so overpriced that it was cheaper to order them directly from US. I don't think they have them anymore.
