Get a decent tablet.  I used to use a Kobo reader and find a tablet is 
much superior.  In addition to reading books, a tablet does so much 
more, including browsing a web site.  You can also get remote desktop 
apps for them.  And so much more...

The only advantages of an e-reader, such as the Kobo, are battery life 
and using in bright sunlight.
