Tablets are simply
better for displaying graphics, color or B&W. I use my tablet whenever I realize that a book has even monochrome map attached. If I were a student, I would definitely use a tablet for reading. Not only is it better for graphics, but I can read both kindle and epub on a tablet.
As to where to find inexpensive ebooks, it's more difficult to find inexpensive best sellers and books that have a Buzz going on about them. Libraries are generally the best way to go for them.
And I find the "Deals, Freebies, and Resources" folder here on Mobileread.com invaluable for finding books of all sorts and popularity that are being promoted with a special or free price.
For new authors, and self published authors (my main interest), I am very pleased with Kindle Unlimited. It is a subscription service from Amazon that allow the subscriber, for the cost of a single paperback book a month, I have an "all you can eat" download availability for authors who sign up for this, lots of 'name' authors offer their older titles this way. I think it's a great deal.
