I currently carry around an MBP and a kindle. I could see (in some hypothetical, far-flung future where touchscreen keyboards weren't utter crap) dropping the laptop for a tablet, but I could never see dropping eInk for anything suitable for a general-purpose tablet. Barring some eInk-led hybrid, I simply can't see using a general-purpose tablet as a reading device. The kindle is simply far too good. I've been reading ebooks on my laptop for years, and I've read more books in the six months since I've gotten my kindle than I had in the 6 years prior. It's just that good. The kindle isn't a tablet. It's your library in your pocket. Don't confuse form with function.
