My personal opinion is that serious readers don't read on tablets and smartphones no matter how much they protest to the contrary ostensibly that they are not dilletantes. For instance, Bill Gates is a serious reader who reads 50 books a year and to people like us the only serious argument is real physical paperbooks vs eReaders and the former devices don't even play a factor in the consideration. I chose the eReader route and Bill Gates chose real physical paper books route.
Tablets are ok for reading highly technical documents from specialized periodicals for short bursts. These periodicals are generally not as long as books in page numbers.
I actually have a mix of real physical books and ebooks on my eReader but I gave most of my physical books away, for free, to a used bookstore.
