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.
Hm. I spend about 80% of my tablet use time on reading ebooks, whether novels, postgrad notes and articles, and fanfic. The rest I spend on email (both personal and professional communication) and web surfing (I often use my tablet to browse MobileRead). So no, to me they are not a waste of time.
