Same with me. I resisted buying a tablet for some time. However now I have one, the constant moving to a notebook or desktop whilst at my hobby desk has gone away.

Agreed. I am not interested in reading ebooks for an extended period of time on a backlit LCD screened tablet, smartphone or PDA where I can be distracted (read: annoyed) by email, SMS and games. Not to mention bad eyestrain
