Gender does determine what device you use.
According to this MSNBC.com story, gender has an impact on what device you buy.

Men do tablets, women eReaders

My guess would be because e-readers are easier to put inside of a purse than a tablet.

But, but tablets are bigger than e-readers. Men don't have purses; therefore, men must carry something bigger than purses!

I have a hybrid ereader/tablet (very likely classed as an ereader for purposes of this poll) and carry it in my murse

My murse (timbuk2 messenger bag, largest size short of a duffel) is larger than the vast majority of purses, but failing that, there are always trucks. I could also carry my tablet over my shoulder, perched atop a sizable stack of two-by-fours

Statistically, far more women read.

The "purse" theory doesn't make any sense; my gf could fit a dozen iPads in her purse.
