A tablet can be used for reading ebooks. A smartphone is too small, and a laptop (or pc) is overkill for reading a text. Especially for non-commercial materials (including many sefarim), there is tremendous potential there since an ebook is much cheaper than a printed book. A large amount of book publishing is being done electronically, and a great many genre (e.g. reference books, technical manuals, newspapers) are clearly moving towards being entire electronic.
