I bought my Surface Pro 5 mainly because I wanted a <10" tablet to read comics on. That was my only
intended use. But it has wound up replacing my laptop completely. I rarely use my tower, so now the Surface is my daily driver for every computer related task.
I do edit ePub's on my Surface with Sigil fairly often.
I don't often view video on it, mainly because I rarely watch videos on a phone, tablet or PC.

No, the screen of a Surface is 3:2. Different aspect ratio than either iPads (which are 4:3) or many Android tablets (which are typically 16:9).
