The advantage of the iPad is its 4:3 aspect ratio, which is a better closer fit to the shape of an A4/Letter page than the 16:9/16:10 aspect ratio that Android tablets use. This means there's a lot less wasted space around the edge of the page.

Harry, I understand the iPad's aspect ratio advantage, however sometimes the letter size becomes small for my eyesight and I need to zoom in resulting in browsing a single page which is very uncomfortable. I can say this from my limited experience in testing it with friend's tablets or trying them at stores. hence the need for larger screens.
The 15+ inch screen market for AIO Windows tablets is very incipient:low battery life, not so portable, not perfect touch experience and maybe not so good for ebook reading as Petrucci pointed out. Maybe in 2 years when CPU's become ever more efficient and powerful the perfect jumbo tablet will be a reality.
