If I wanted a tablet I’d buy a tablet. I wanted an ereader so I bought an ereader. A tablet would not be better to use for me as I’ve no use for the bells and whistles it offers when I’ve got a smartphone that does everything I’d use the tablet for anyway.
I’d also avoid Android tablets, especially cheap ones, like the plague. I’ve had too many experiences both my own and family/friends to venture into that minefield again.
Give me one device which does something amazingly well rather than one device which does a lot of things passably well. And to be clear tablets to date have offered passable reading experiences for arguably the majority of reading media. They do PDF better but little else.
