Tho the dedicated eBook reader probably will always have its place. The tablet is the next huge thing no mater where people live and internet connectivity spreads. A tablet is sorta like a Swiss army knife that you can read books on, but also does much more that just being a reader.

I actually prefer having an e-reader and a smartphone to having a tablet. I don't watch many movies or play a lot of games, but do I read a lot and like having access to maps and information wherever I go (and a phone is a lot easier to port around in a purse or pocket than a tablet). In a pinch (i.e. in the dark or when I don't want to carry a lot) the phone can double as an e-reader as well.
