Older models lacked built-in lighting. That was a major deal breaker for me so prior to getting a tablet, I'd more often read on a 3.5" retina iPhone than on the Sony PRS-350.
They're also easier to use for browsing libraries and downloading certain content to (e.g. library books, Hoopla Digital borrows, fanfics, etc).
I have a phone, tablet and Paperwhite in my purse. Nowadays, I barely use the phone for reading. It's usually between the Paperwhite or tablet. More often than not, the tablet wins because it's easier to download practically any format from any source to the tablet than it is to the Paperwhite. Also, my tablet has built-in LTE while my Paperwhite isn't 3G. I do wonder can you browse any source with 3G Kindles, though?
