I think there are several factors playing into this.
1. Ereaders are cheaper, and are a close to perfectly developed, easy to use machines. The software is integrated into the machines, no hacking, fiddling around with them.
2. Tablets are more expensive. They are also a jack of all trades, but master of none. You have to download your own software & hope that it works,
The Nook is only a tablet once you hack it to have full market access. I'm not interested in screwing around with something to get it to do what I want it to, neither is most of buying public. You gadget tweekers on here don't count.
3. Tablets are simply an after thought as readers, or anything else for that matter. Until they truly put out tablets, that are good to go right out of the box for reading and everything else without a lot of fuss, AND start dropping in price, I believe that ereaders will continue to outpace tablets.
