What do you use your tablet for?

I don't have one and am not sure if I need it. Please tell what you do with your tablets.

I mostly use my tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 & Galaxy Nexus 7) around the house to do some web browsing or quick look ups when I'm not at my computer. I don't take my tablets with me when I leave the house as anything I could do with the tablet, I can do with my phone and the phone is more portable.

I just bought a Galaxy 7.0 for my wife who is completely computer illiterate, because I was hoping that the OS with its touchscreen user input would be easier for her to learn. (The verdict is still out if that system is better than a conventional keyboard/mouse system of inputting for somebody who is non technical and never has worked with computers. We also do not have one of those newer cell-phones, which would have made the transition somewhat easier. In the mean time I am learning to use it as well!)
Her main desire is to do Internet surfing/shopping and emailing people, and perhaps later on making pictures and watch Internet TV, so it is pretty limited.
The reason for choosing a tablet is the convenience of having a small, mobile device that she can hold in her hands and use trough out the house using WiFi. Also, it is difficult to buy a good complete computer system for $250, which in addition, will require room for the case, keyboard and monitor and tethers you to a desk.

I use tablets to take the pain away.

Depending on the pain, it could be quite a few tablets are needed

I only really use my tablet for, web browsing, social networking, ebay, and playing the odd game.

I have an Eee Pad Transformer. I usually use it for Facebook, general web surfing, and Netflix. Also play some games on it.
