Thanks for your answer. When I posted a link to a matrix of all the 
current eink-based readers, I assumed it is obvious I want an e-ink 
based one. I'd think dedicated reader would be more energy/weight/price 
efficient than a general purpose tablet, but anything with e-ink will 
do! Also, as I had stated, I'm not interested in buying DRM books anyway...

Ah, I see! Thanks a lot, I haven't followed the development since the 
original debate began.
