I've had an ipad for a while, in the beginning I hardly used it at all, I read some books or watched some video/tv on it occasionally, but mostly at home.

But after a while I found what I think is the tablet sweetspot, and that is a "digital newspaper". Kindle is arguably better for reading books, a "ultrabook" is arguably better compromise if you want to both author and consume content. The mobile is best for taking photos/checking your email etc.

Nothing beats the iPad however when it comes to catching up with news on the train/airplane/café/sofa. Apps like Flipboard and Zite offers a better reading/discovery experience than even on a laptop I'd argue with interfaces free from clutter, magazine like layouts and personalization.

I have a hard time seeing me lugging around anything the size of the Note all the time...
