Yeah, to me form factor is even more important than screen tech. A laptop is uncomfortable to read on for me as I can curl up on the couch or bed with it like I can a book, or e-reader or Tablet. I'm stuck sitting with it on my lap.
A tablet I could hold to read about as easily as a hardcover. Screen tech like e-ink is a key for avid readers who read for hours at a time and need the ease on the eyes and long battery life. For someone like me that reads at most an hour or two a day, it's not a deal breaker.
