I find tablets fine for reading one single book, in particular when you're reading that book from cover to cover. So if I want to buy a fiction book (e.g. The Hobbit) on my Kindle it works just fine. But when it comes to non-fiction/reference books the technology is just not ready. You don't read cover to cover, you bounce around, you mark sections, you take notes, you check your answers in the back, and yet the software I have seen does all of this stuff badly. Plus whenever people roll out one of these snazzy "look how hip and modern we are" school programs I never read about how much they spent on teacher training or development of researches (apps, lesson plans, etc). So I always wonder if they literally just turned up with a pack of iPads one day and said to the teachers "make this work!" Without any real thought given to how exactly the teachers are meant to use them.
