My experience has been the opposite, perhaps because I tend to set a book down and then turn the pages, whereas my tablet, which is pretty heavy, is shifted to one hand while I am swiping with the other. It's probably in how one does it.
I find that my thumbs and fingers, particularly the index ones, are swollen and fat after very much time on my iPad. Seam ripping, with the rolling motion I use, is a close second.
