Aren't you forgetting that the browser in WebOS works much more like a PC browser? So you don't really need all those apps. You can go right to the websites.
They apparently have a few good reading apps now, Netflix is coming, Hulu works directly from the website. Pressreader app is in the works, so is Zinio. RDP is still missing in action -- I guess that currently is the big one. The Kindle app will upgrade soon enough, and the new webapp would be fine, I guess.
HP seems very comitted. There are several 1000 apps available, the old ones still work in 3.0. How much do you really need. I guess everyone has to decide on a case by case basis, but I think in a few months usability will surpass the others. Why do we need an app for everything, when we can do it right on the websites? I see the apps more as a lock-in mechanism or to make up for the lack of flash or limited computing power. On my phone I now prefer to go to the real websites instead of using their apps which are much more limited.
