"Small cheap tablets" weight more than eReaders and don't match their battery life. And, if I'm going to carry a device -- primarily for reading -- I want it to be an eInk one.

I like that ereaders are just plain boring text readers.

For me, it's having related subjects together on the same device. (Besides, I don't use a dedicated MP3 player. I do have several eReaders that can play MP3s. Not that I really use them either. )
