I agree that the tablet sphere can't really focus on the avid readers. It is interesting to consider what a tablet designed for readers of magazines, cookbooks, and other forms that don't translate well to e-ink readers would look like. I think it would be larger than the current tablets (in screen size) and also have a longer battery life. Although this might not be possible with the current tech. BN's tablets don't have conspicuously better battery life than the competition, nor do they really offer anything too different from the others otherwise.

The Nook HD+, as someone mentioned upthread, is a good deal at $269, but it seems people don't find the price difference significant enough.
