Granted, many people don't want to bother and for them it's just easier to use different apps on their tablet (which I personally feel would be a major pain in the backside, but to each his own).

As for nonfiction books, academic papers and PDF-s, a tablet is indeed the better option.
That requires extra steps via computer, though. I expect majority of consumers find downloading directly using the device with the requisite app easier.
