For what it is worth, I own a Nook tablet and have never played a game on it, never read an email on it, and never browsed the Internet on it. I use it to read ebooks and the New York Times.

What the tablet does offer me, however, that the eInk ereaders I own do not, is the ability to have some of the Audubon apps on it. My wife likes birdwatching and the Audubon bird app is essentially reading a bird guide plus the ability to hear the bird call.

And children like the ability to see a bird in our backyard and go to the app and identify it and learn more about the bird.

The real issue is how disciplined is the tablet owner. I don't watch TV and could care less about watching videos on the tablet, so I don't do either. I do not feel I need to be always connected, which is one of the reasons I don't have a smartphone, don't twitter or text, and continue to use my basic cell phone that I bought 10 years ago.
