I don't have ebook reader tablet; so no experience to compare. But I read all Dan Brown's novels, all full-content feeds offline on my iPhone (in the train, in the rest room, on my bed, on waiting lines, etc) Very convenient because it is always in my pants.

My favorite apps:

- Kindle app: read full-content feeds retrieved from Mobipocket desktop; also some self-published ebooks (also created from Mobipocket desktop)

- eReader app: read most novels (I'm not English-speaking guy, so offline dictionary lookup feature on eReader is really helpful)

- Stanza app: seldom use now. This app is actually an all-in-one app for me because I can read both feeds and ebooks with it; the problem is the companion software on my desktop (Calibre) is too slow and always freeze my PC; and the lack of off-line dictionary lookup on Stanza itself.
