Aye, I know what you mean; but with a good tablet you can comfortably:
- read without a table (bed, sofa, bus, subway, etc, even standing up)
- manipulate the document much faster and more intuitive than with mouse/trackpad (pan, zoom, flip pages with single gesture that combines multiple commands)

So it's definitely not just a viewing angle issue...

I was speaking only about my use case, because I'm a 'traditional PC' kind of guy. Any tablet I were to purchase would just end up gathering dust.

Yup, we all have different needs...
