I have a tablet. During flights it’s great for music and movies, and at my destination it’s for books. At home I play retro games on it with a bluetooth controller, and for streaming anime, too.
See, the fact that you can play movies and games on it is why tablets are inferior to e-readers. A device which is only for reading means that you’ll read when you are using it. 😉
This is where a Kobo comes into it’s own.

One of the best presents I’ve ever received :-)
Tablets are pretty cool, but they don’t run for weeks on a charge the way an Ebook reader does.
That’s true, I can use the tablet for about 20 hours if it’s just reading ebooks in flight mode … it’s a few years old, though

In the last 6 months I’ve devoured about 25 books on it (of varyjng quality)
Love my kobo! Rereading the entire Pratchett corpus now…
I revived an old Kindle recently by jailbreaking and installing KOReader, and I’ve been reading more ever since.
yeah, my old device is still getting a good amount of use.
feels weird to buy physical books just to torrent the ebook, but it’s what gets me to actually read
Kobosters! We were mentioned!!
