As Stig says, try it.
Personally for longer reading sessions, I find my dedicated kindle paperwhite much better as less glare or reflection (reducung eye strain), battery last much longer (days rather than hours), device is lighter etc. |

A tablet is a mirror in bright sunlight so using one as an ereader is next to impossible outside, unless you only want to read outside on dull overcast days.
Kindles are also a lot lighter to hold, and the page turn button is conveniently under your thumb. Personally I'd always prefer the Kindle to the app on a tablet. |

I find it easier to read on a tablet if I change the page colour to sepia during the day and turn the brightness all the way down. At night change the colour to black.

I find it strange that the Kindle apps for different platforms are so different from each other. As if they've been designed by different teams.
I have a Windows tablet and an Android tablet, and the Kindle app is much nicer to use on Android. A much nicer animation for page turning. (this is the Windows Store app I'm talking about) Haven't tried it on IOS, but I guess it would be different again? |

They go with the idiom of each platform, which suggests they were designed separately and not ported. I do not care for animated page turns, they actually annoy me. I want to read and not to feast my eyes on animations. I want the page to be there instantly.
