My experience is close to ilovejedd's, though with Windows 10 tablets, a now retired 8" Dell Venue 8 pro (size match to an iPad Mini) and now a Surface Go (size match to the new iPad Pro 10"). I also have a older 6" Kindle 3/keyboard.
1. The Surface Go is my primary "consumption" device for casual surfing and videos. My desktop computer is used for more complex surfing and serious image (Ps, Lr, ...) and document work. The Go is often connected to the desktop's 24" monitor and used with a mouse and keyboard instead of firing up to big desktop box.
2. The Go is where my primary calibre library lives, though the desktop has calibre installed with a copy of the library.
3. The Kindle is my primary reader, though the old 8" Dell was frequently used since my Kindle lacks a lighted display. The Go is, for me, too heavy to use as a reader except when it can be placed on a table instead of hand-held or for only brief reading sessions (reading documents rather than books).
Since I need to do too much "real computer work" (Ps, remote control of office computers, full Office apps, full browser compatibility with a wide range of specialized websites, ...) with my portable device, I've used full Windows tablets since retiring my last notebook years ago. I find dealing with Windows on my tablets much easier than fighting the many workarounds required to do similar, but never completely the same, actions on either of the limited OSs, iOS and Android. The old rule still applies: First, find the software you need to do the job and only then begin to look at what hardware runs that software. For me, the search ends with Windows as there are no macOS tablets.
