Except, Cooley said something like, "... but we're also not a nation of bookworms either. For most of us, the tablet is going to be good enough, especially since our real love is video and the web". So on that basis, there would be no reason to make the universal device as good as a dedicated e-reader for reading, because its main purpose would be for displaying video and surfing the Web.
