> "reading/learning. That can be productive." I've been using one of my tablets to read through a book I'm using to tutor a friend's high school aged kid. My wife uses one to read programming books and reference materials. My preschool-aged son and nephew watch educational videos (type "number", "polygon", "alphabet", etc. into the youtube app; there's some great stuff out there.) They also play number, letter, color, shape, reading, and math games (the five year old plays Dragon Box! [0]) My sister uses hers to schedule substitute teaching and tutoring jobs, and on occasion she works as a manuscript editor (the keyboard dock is important for this.) So there's a lot of reading, learning, and even production of content going on on tablets in this household.
