Like, they serve no other purpose but to upload ebooks onto them and read them. I really enjoy reading and I have a laptop that turns into a tablet, so is it basically the same thing? Or are there advantages to the one specifically for reading? Wouldn't it hurt your eyes really bad to look at the screen that long? Sometimes if I look at a computer too long (in extreme cases) my vision gets really blurry and distorted the rest of the day.
