I'm in no way a fan of paper books, and I love doing various things on my tablet, just not book reading.

For me part of it was just getting the knack, or maybe just getting used to it. I was around when word processing started getting up a head of steam and one, in business, wrote ones own reports, etc. through to publication. I found that for quite a long time I could not proof read very comfortably on the screen what I had written, I would print it out. I was not alone in that as many others seem to do the same.
But as time went on I found that changed and proof reading on the screen became easy and preferred for me; I noticed that others were not printing their work out either. Of course, better displays came along too as did better fonts, etc.
Perhaps that is one reason why I do not find reading on a tablet (and earlier on PDAs) an issue. Through business need way back I just had to get into reading off LCD screens and for me that proved to be a blessing.
