Point being it won't be better for reading novels with straight text. If that's all you do, then a tablet like this won't be for you.

But if you read magazines, newspapers or comics it will be great. Or textbooks. Or scholarly/technical PDFs with lots of graphs and figures.

And even moreso if you're not just a reader but also into TV shows, movies, games etc. as then you have multiple hobbies and one easy to carry around device.

But yeah, if one's just an avid reader that spends most of their free time just reading straight text, then they need not pay attention to tablets. At least most of them. I'm sure some would prefer reading on a tablet for some reason, so I don't want to state that too broadly.
