I have a laptop with a powerful MediaCenter software in it. Yet under my TV there's a DVD reader and recorder, and I use that a lot.
My personal computer is capable of receiving TV channels and record them. But during dinner I watch my TV.
I have a smartphone which can, among a thousand other things, play MP3s exceptionally well. Yet I still have (and use) my mp3 player.
Half of the devices I listed above CAN and DO display ebooks. Yet I still use my V3 when I want to read.
Why? Because of a ton of reasons... one of which is that "they're still easier and quicker to use". When I want to record a TV show, I select the channel, push on "Record", then select "on Disk", and the TV show is saved onto a DVD; if I do the same on my PC I have to -> open MediaCenter -> Connect TV Tuner -> Wait for connection -> Select Channel -> click Record, and after that, ->Copy to CD/DVD
That's just ONE example, an not the only reason, but only the one that all those dedicated devices have in common.
