Every moment you spend wasting time on a tablet would be better spent reading a book or an ebook*.

*If you counter "But ah! I read on my tablet!" define what percentage of your glued-to-your-tablet time is spent reading.
I actually save time because I have a tablet. Otherwise I'd have to get out of bed, turn on my PC, start a browser, go to the forums and read there. Now, I picked up my tablet which was laying beside me on my nightstand, turned it on (which is instant) and open the forum reading app. Saves me at least 10 minutes. And when I'm done here, I'll open my book reading app and start reading, instead of going back up again and try to read on a non-backlit device in a darker room.

I use my tablet for a lot of things, which save me time. Such as my grocery shopping list, my encyclopedia, my book, my communication device with the outside world...
