Not so my 10" Kindle Fire tablet. That's a nice size to watch a movie and 2 page up reading. But it's just too thick and heavy for me to read in comfort for long periods.

My 8" Kindle Fire Tablets are a nice size for reading. Just thicker and heavier than an iPad mini.

Interestingly my iPhone 16 Pro Max - is now too heavy for long reading in comfort, IMHO.

I think I'd prefer an 8" Kindle eInk for optimal size and weight for reading novels.
Interesting what ergonomics can achieve. The iPad min weighs 293 grams, while the iPhone Pro Max weighs 227 grams, and yet the iPhone is (I assume feels) heavier.
