All of the top things you can vote on that you use your tablet for are things that my girlfriend uses my Cr-48 (Chrome OS laptop) for. I don't think that tablets are special, per se, they're just one of a number of ultra-portables (with Cr-48, netbooks, and smartphones being the other ones) that are gaining in use because of how quick/easy they are to pick up and put down. Not on the uses list, but ultra-portables are also far more comfortable/easier to take into environments like the bathtub. The bubble bath + kindle + zip-loc bag wins the day in this use case, as there's the same functionality as on 'dry land' and no worry involved.
