So what if the tablet will have dimensions more like those of a magazine?  So what if it will make for a better “lean back” experience?  These qualities will make reading the same old free internet from the comfort of your couch a much better experience, too.

Web page designers will redesign their sites to fit the tablet format better, just like they created smart phone versions of their sites.

Basically, on tablets like on PCs, if you can get if for free, why ever would you pay?
