This is why I thought the title of this thread to be presumptuous.

For me, tablets are the present and future, till something better comes along. Dedicated e-readers are of very limited use to me.
On a tablet, I can read all the online news I like, watch related multimedia and buy books from a variety of sources without the hassle of converting. As with the NYT story I mentioned above, iPad let me:
* Read on NYT.com.
* Watch a related video, on which a hedge fund guy, a Nobel winner and a Spanish finance official discussed the Greek economic fiasco.
* Google for a book mentioned in the NYT story.
* Download from a book site to the Stanza app, on which I can adjust a bunch of formatting, font and brightness settings to my liking.
I used to read news and books on netbook and Kindle. For me, a tablet is the best combination of form factor and wide access to content. Yeah for lots of choice. It'll be even better when other tablet makers start delivering.
