If it is only for ebook reading then buy dedicated reader like kindle or nook or kobo. I think the new kindle touch is available for 6K in amazon. I have both kindle paperwhite and tablet, but I like the kindle for reading books. It is just like reading a physical book, no eye strain, can be read for hours and the battery lasts for days.

This, no mainstream tablet matches the kindle or similar tablets in terms of reading experience
