It's certainly not just about brightness or glare. My Laptop and desktop screens are both far better than the LCD tablet. I have very controlled room lighting in the Library. But you can't use them in bed or in an armchair.
Battery life can be an issue for LCD tablets. I might read for over 8 hours.
Larger tablets are heavy.
Emitted light needs adjustment as you move or lighting changes and I've never seen "automatic" that solves the issue. A passive screen with front light off and a reading light is most like paper. Reflective LCD only works in bright sunshine as panel light losses are too high.
