I am a die hard Android tablet geek. So I read all my ebooks either in Aldiko or the Kindle app. I can do everything with my tablet and I could not see having a separate device strictly for ebooks.

I am not a fan of ebooks myself, I prefer to have a real book in my hand. But I know a lot of people who only read ebooks and enjoy the cheaper cost and portability. It depends on what you read it on I guess.

I was never a fan of ebooks. Until I was. I use a Samsung galaxy tab for reading ebooks on, using the Kindle app. I find it a pleasurable experience and very convenient. It will never replace physical books for me, but it does allow me to read books only available as ebooks, and is also invaluable when travelling.

I usually read traditionally. I like to have the book in my hands, and it may sound a little weird, but I love the smell of new books. Occasionally, I read on my Google Nexus Tablet.

I usually prefer my Kindle, but I do like to use the nook app on my Galaxy tab 2 which works just as great!

I best thing I like about my tablet is that you can get free apps for free ebooks.

I tend to read ebooks more and more on my iPad, but maybe that's also because I have an older Kindle. It's also because I can access more formats on the IPad.

I love my android tablet with the kindle app for the portability. The only books that I consistently get in paperback are from my favorite authors. Mostly Stephen King, otherwise the app works perfectly for me.

I read some of my books onmy iPad but still prefer to read the traditional way
I have an river that I got a few years ago but I found it hard to read on that as I kept knocking the next page bar then had to return and find my spot again!
iPad is good if you have wifi at home and then just download the app and then the books as an ePub which I can usually get for free so if I am desperate for a book and can't get to the store I'll read it on that

I use a tablet - the Google Nexus 7. I like the flexibility of a tablet versus an ereader. I can use pretty much any eBook supplier I want just by downloading their client.

I read books on my iPad. I really like the ability to carry a number of books on one device with access to multiple platforms.
Some of my happiest moments are when lost within the pages of a book!
