The two basically offer similar hardware. In some cases, like that new Lenovo hybrid, it's less-than-current-netbook hardware in terms of specs.
I do think a dedicated ebook reader using e-ink tech is a better option over tablets and whatnot. The battery life and paper-like display are its too biggest selling points that are not easily matched on any tablet given a similar price range. Weight is another factor as I have yet to see a full-fledged MID tablet that weighs in at 1 pound or less (typical weight of most readers minus larger screen ones).
Also in today's super-connected world, do we really need to have a internet-able device at our sides 24/7?
