There's also weight and battery life to consider. I'm probably not the "target audience" but – even though I have a tablet – I'm usually trying to figure out things to do with it. It'll sit for weeks without getting touched. My eReaders get used every day. For eMail, my smartphone (Blackberry Q10) works well and I really don't spend much time on the Internet when away from my desktop (or my laptop, when I actually travel, not often).
