Abstract

While a tablet is a sort of “magic window” that becomes whatever you want via apps, the e-reader is a device almost entirely dedicated to a single function, that of reading long-form text. E-readers such as the Kindle and the Nook do this job very, very well and deserve their own attention, separate from their do-anything tablet brethren.
