Small tablet for reading

[bwana]

Wrong. Tablet is terrible for reading at night. The LCD screen causes eye strain. An eink display with a soft backlight like the Kindle paper white is perfect for night time and will never hurt your eyes.

Never proven afaik.

In fact researchers have proven that there is no difference. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22762257

Dunno Boet, I am a lot older than you and have read close to 500 books on my tablet (2012 Note 10.1 which does not have the best resolution on the planet) and my eyes are prolly better than yours (I had to bring that in ). You can control the backlighting on a tablet, especially with the Kindle app.

^^ This. I read on my Lenovo 10" tablet using Aldiko. I read for hours at a time in a dark room and my eyes never get "strained". Only thing that Kindle may be better for is reading outside in the sunlight?

I'd have to agree with that.

That may be. That 10" Lenovo is not the most comfortable to read with and gets very heavy. I rest it on a small pillow on my stomach usually.
