Because higher charge levels during storage increase the rate of degradation. 40% is more "stable" (while not skirting too close to a damaging discharge).

Also, I'm fairly certain the tablet batteries don't have a circuit board (as all charging logic is handled by BME). Somebody want to cut away the plastic casing on an old one to confirm?
