I always think that a machine which only performs one function does it better than one which does it as well as. So I would rather buy an e-book reader, i.e a kindle, than use a tablet. Any opinions?”
Any dedicated e-book reader, using 'e-ink' is, arguably, better than a back-lit lcd display on a tablet, for reading books.
So if reading books is all you want then get an e-book reader. Battery life, alone, is a huge advantage - i.e. lasting weeks rather than days before needing a recharge.
If you have any other requirements, though, email, web browsing, video or music, then a tablet may be a better compromise ???
