As for nonfiction books, academic papers and PDF-s, a tablet is indeed the better option.

Personally, I find that WAY too much trouble! If I have a non Kindle book I want to read, I just use my tablet. I like my Paperwhite very much, and I prefer to use it, but it's just easier to occasionally use my tablet.
