And the size issue. I wouldn't think of dragging a tablet out with me wherever I go, it's far too bulky. But a 5" e-ink reader that I can slip in my pocket, I don't leave the house without it.

But I really have no need for a tablet either. 3 desktop PCs and a 10" netbook are more than I need at home, and a phone with a data plan is more than I need just running around the city. Longer stays anywhere for anything more than 1 day, my netbook also gets packed and fills in any gaps for me perfectly.

Nor do I want the distractions while reading, I love getting lost completely in a book, same as you would with a paper book. My 350s don't have internet access at all in fact, and I love that about it. I prefer buying and sorting all my books in one place, on my main PC.

So I'm one that will always prefer a dedicated reader over any of the other all-purpose toys.
