While this article talks about how education might be affected, it is interesting to look at the question in general. 7 inch handheld tablets, or similar form factor e-Readers seem to have the potential in education similar to what the slated brought in a while back! HP calls their tablets "slates" possibly to raise that image in the minds of buyers. To my mind an eReader and a tablet as a ereader may considered similar, but what tablets can offer is animated illustrations inn color and other multimedia add-ons. It is this ability to create animated illustrations, inherent interactivity (far more than page turning) that gives tablets an edge in education. I am sure they will get their rigyhtful place eventually.
