Makes more sense to me that way.

Because I'm having a hard time envisioning how having a tablet will increase my ereading pleasure in any way (keep in mind that I'm a "novels only kind of guy"). I realize that tablets may be the future for the rest of the world, but I'm just not a mobile guy... I have a desktop PC, an ereader and no cell phone. I'm set.
It depends on what you do and read. I'm interested in a tablet because I'll do other things besides read ebooks on it. The fact that it does do other things won't be a distraction when reading, as I expect to be able to set things up so I won't be distracted by other functions.

And I read non-fiction as well as fiction, and some of what I read needs color and down the road will benefit from the possibilities the hardware offers. ("Enhanced" ebooks are a hot topic, though there';s a lot of confusion about what that means and what sort of books will benefit from what sort of enhancement.)
