Lots of things.  I often use mine for email, listening to music, surfing 
"the web" and more, in addition to reading books.  I have found some 
books are better on the tablet.  I can also download books directly to 
the tablet, including library books, whereas my ebook reader requires 
books be downloaded to my computer first and then copied across and 
library books have to be downloaded to a computer running Windows.  I 
can also use ssh to access my home computers.  Incidentally, the other 
day, I was showing my tablet to a friend.  She's a real estate agent and 
quickly saw the advantages it would have for her work.
