I'm getting tired of the piling on. ZodWallop is not the first one to bring up the fact (even Amazon people mentioned it in an interview) that heavy readers usually use eInk eReaders. Maybe the problem was the word "real" -- but let it go, it's used in the same way as "heavy." It wasn't a personal attack. Grow thicker skins and get over yourselves. This self-righteous, martyr complex gets old. And I don't like "politically correct" groupthink.
Here's
Wirecutter on "Why you shouldn’t just read ebooks on a tablet"
Quote:

Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo all offer apps that allow you to access each ebook reader’s library on an iOS or Android tablet or phone; you can also use a tablet or smartphone to read ebooks from Apple’s iBooks Store (on iOS) and the Google Play Store (on iOS and Android). This flexible arrangement can be great for times when you may not have your reader handy: You can read a few pages, and your progress syncs to the cloud so that you can pick right back up where you left off on whichever device you prefer. For regular reading, however, we think dedicated ebook readers are a better option for a number of reasons, namely nonreflective electronic-ink displays that give you a more paperlike visual experience (including easy reading outdoors and less eyestrain than with an LCD screen), a lighter weight, and a significantly longer battery life. Just as important for serious reading is the fact that a dedicated ebook reader offers fewer distractions—you won’t be tempted to switch apps to check Twitter or your email.
