Android tablets have been replaced by Chromebook convertibles that are capable of running Android apps. It's a much better experience than a typical android tablet ever was.

Also smartphone screens became larger and took usecases from tablets.
Yeah, that's a good point. The old 7" tablet market is kind of pointless when 6.5" is a normal phone size.

6.5" at what aspect ratio though?
6.5" 18:9 (2:1) aspect ratio phones have a _lot_ less area than a 7" 4:3 tablet.
For a reading surface this makes a big difference.
