2. Because of 1, the battery drains far too fast compared to an e-ink reader.
3. Glare. E-Ink just has less glare.
When outside or in public transport, these are often issues. When at home, I can read on a tablet quite easily. The battery lasts 10-12 hours, and I never have a reading session that long.

That's cool. Like I said; I don't really care what people read on and why. I'm just happy to see tablet and phone readers not being dismissed as "casual readers" as quickly as they used to be around here. Always thought it was silly that there was a "rift" among electronic reading aficionados to begin with. We already overcame the "real book"ers as a team, for gosh sake. Then we quickly drew up new edogma to take a stand on.
