I think there are three complaints about e-books on a tablet:
1) Weight - these can be pretty hefty and big unless they are a Nokia internet tablet or a UMPC
2) Outdoor visibility - like any LCD screen, it might not be great outside.
3) Battery life - they tend to have fairly short battery life

However, if these issues are not a big deal for you, it would have one serious advantage - it would, well, also be a tablet pc! If you are buying one for the tablet pc features anyway, why not use it as an e-book reader also.

If you go that way, it would be interesting to hear what you think.
