A device can not be made relevant to either conversation by virtue of its ability to play Angry Birds.

Video games bore me, but I did check out Angry Birds, to see what people were talking about. I don't see the appeal.
I don't need e-devices to mimic paper, either. I read books for content, not the joy of paper.
Tablets are relevant to the e-reader discussion because their functions overlap. For some readers, the e-reading function is sufficient or better on non-dedicated devices. That's why e-ink fans are worried.
