Tablets will never be bought in large numbers primarily as reading devices. They'll just be web machines, video players that can also display text.

People on this site have delusions about how much the average person (especially younger people) do any reading beyond blogs, news blurbs, e-mails and whatever they're forced to read for school and/or work.
No, I think E-Ink will take over as the primary display-mechanism for computer monitors, laptops, tablets and the like. Seriously. Obviously a lot of technological improvements are required for that to happen - colour, for a start! - but I think it's a logical and near-inevitable progression.
