I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

      Normal tablets don’t have e-Ink screens and for reading electrophoretic displays are vastly superior to LED/LCD screens.

          They still have much longer battery life and they’re still like reading on paper. Just not in a very high “print” quality when in colour.

              For e-readers? It’s fine, if it’s modified heavily enough. The tolino e-reader line (before they just became kobos) used a heavily modified version of Android and they were great devices.
