the ereader i have doesn’t handle images well at all. if you’re reading a book with a photo or map or anything that isn’t coded text, then it sucks. my current book has some text that was scanned as images-- i have to zoom in and drag the screen to read it, and the refresh/“frame rate” for e-ink is inherently terrible. a tablet would solve this, if i didn’t care about privacy
i still prefer the feel of a book, but the ability to have thousands of books on one device, being able to tap a word and get a definition without having to open another “book,” negation of lighting requirements, highlighting, multiple bookmarks, customizable font/size-- if it’s not an art book or graphic novel, i’ll deal with reading the e-ink screen
