I would say the biggest limitation is the lack of a user accessible file system. Managing large collections of books or anything else for that matter, can be quite problematic unless you stay strictly within the reader or music app. Also, connecting external storage devices isn't nearly as simple as it is with a laptop. The iPad, for example, has no USB ports, only Apple's proprietary 30 pin connector. In order to connect a USB device you'll need to purchase a $30 adapter and your apps will need to support that storage. I guess the thing to keep in mind is that a tablet doesn't have a "full" computer OS on it so you'll be missing features you might currently be taking for granted. As for banking, if you can do it on the web you can do it on a tablet.
