E-reader, tablet, or just not bother?

So my partner is waiting for me to decide what i want for christmas i am stuck between an e-reader or a tablet.

The e-reader is nice and simple can read books on it easily, its light and the battery last ages ive decided that if i want just an e-reader then i would like a kobo glo. But i dont like how slow they are to react. I hate the one use to it and i hate the lack of colour because at some point i would like to read the news or magazines on it maybe.

Then there is the tablet, i have looked at many the small samsung galaxy one, the blackberry playbook, the kindle fire, but the Kobo Arc has stood out to me the most as they are an e-reader company so will be based more around the reading part of it than anything else. I would have gone straight for a tablet if it wasnt for the fact that we already have a computer, a laptop and i have a samung galaxy note phone (large touch screen phone).So any tablet i am going to get on my budget wont be much bigger. He has offered to buy me an ipad but i dont think they are worth it for the money and the fact you are completely stuck with apple when your with it.

Should i just give up and not waste money and read normal books? Can still get them pretty cheap from supermarkets and i work part time in a book store.

Really unsure what to do, hope someone can help. Thanks!
