Problem is that all those wonderful iPad and similar tablets might have everything and the kitchen sink, but they seriously do lack the principal feature that makes an e-reader device so very attractive: they don't have an electronic paper display that easily allows to spend as much time reading as with real paper with virtually no eye strain.

For people who spend lots of hours daily reading this is the main reason to actually want nothing else but some variety of an e-ink display, even if apart from the clearly superior reading comfort they are lacking everything else and all the bells and whistles not directly related to the reading process.

Don't get me wrong, tablets like the iPad are very nice and versatile devices for lots of purposes. But they are definitely not the best solution for extended reading. This has already been discussed ad nauseum in earlier threads in this forum so there certainly is no need to waste any more words on this topic.
