Yep, that could be a huge plus to a tablet device as you could get apps to read different formats of e-books and have access to multiple e-book stores through the device etc.

Ideally you could get a Kindle app, a Sony store app, a Barne's and Noble Store app etc. On top of access to all the public domain books etc. As well as all the other features not related to e-books that could be built in for those who want them.
