I mostly read on eink readers, and I recognize that may sometimes tablets suffer from:
* inability to read under direct sunlight,
* relatively poor battery life,
* perhaps being too heavy to hold for hours.
But tech journalists really exaggerate these defects and make it sound like tablets are awful for reading. They are not!
The auto-brightness settings on modern tablets are pretty good and make it easy to read without eye strain. And don't forget the the ability to change to sepia tone, or reverse white and black. The high contrast allows the tablet to render fine serif fonts better than eink readers without looking faint. The battery life on modern tablets are way better than they used to be, and the weight is as well. And tablets are versatile and some of them are much cheaper than ereaders to boot (thinking of the Fire and Nook).
I'm saying all this because these kind of threads easily become echo chambers for eink fanatics.
