4:3 = for example iPad. Almost square, as the ratio indicates.
16:9 = for example Xoom and the other Honeycomb tablets.

The calculation is quite simple:

If your reader/tablet for example has a resolution of 800 x 600, that's 4 : 3.
1024 x 768 the same (1024 / 4 x 3 = 768).

Xoom on the other hand has 1280 x 800, that's 16:10.
