Forgive my ignorance, but can I use a tablet as an ereader?

My ereader died a couple of months ago and, being on a minimal income, its tough to find another that fits my very tight budget. So at fifty bucks, if I can use a tablet like an ereader, then why not?

You can. I’m perfectly happy using my smartphone as an ereader as well, but you may not have one of those.

I’ve never had problems with eyestrain. Switching to sepia or white-on-black, and adjusting the brightness level, is all I’ve ever needed to do.
