Tablet or e-reader - not sure which is best for me?

Hi,
I am thinking of getting either a tablet or e-reader but I am not sure which is right for me.
I basically want it to read on when away from my laptop as I find a phone screen is too small for prolonged use, but the things I will be reading are not all standard e-books. As well as normal fiction and non-fiction books I read a lot of fanfiction, which can usually be downloaded as PDFs and other formats to read offline, but I also like Manga and was looking at using an app like Manga Zone but I have no idea if this can be used in an e-reader. If possible I would like to be able to transfer books between the device and my laptop so I don't have to download something twice but this is not absolutely essential. I am likely to be using it for anything from 2 to 12 hours a day depending on what is going on.
Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully received, thanks.
