      Does google has any trouble reading content tabs? The content is not loaded by ajax and is already in the page source code.
      As i'm checking some big e-commerce websites or (amazon.com for example) they get rid of the tabs with content and put the different content below eachother.

      Is his better for SEO purpose? But what about user experience? For users it think it is easier to navigate by tabs then to have a long page to scroll.

      What do you guys think about this issue?

        I wouldn't never suggest you put content into anything that is hidden (until revealed with a click) and hope to get any SEO benefit from it. But move away from any SEO questions for a moment and remember that there are occasions where this does work well, as you mentioned, for the user experience, and this is why it should be done - nothing more.

        Sometimes they will work better than others. It all depends upon the application in question.
