Before going to bed, I sometimes would prop up a softcover book, hardcover book, or laptop on my stomach and read. The hardcover book was usually much too heavy, and even the laptop was too heavy. The softcover book was light, but a little hard to hold, and I would flip the page every minute or two. Also, many softcover books I read once and then would have to look for a new one. My tablet - very light on my stomach, as easy to hold as a book - easier with no page flipping etc. The half hour before I sleep is usually when I use my tablet. Also - I develop for Android. Honeycomb was the first Android version designed for tablets. It came out about 2 years ago, early 2011. Back then the Android smartphone to tablet ratio was something like 95 to 5, if not greater. The integrated smartphone/tablet ICS Android version came out at the end of 2011. Meaning, the tablet OS and API hooks have only been out for two years, and initially there was very little of a user base. In other words, these are still early days. I am sure the popular Android tablet focused apps of the future are yet to be written.
