Many (most?) users seem keep their smartphone and use the A5 as a reading device. For example, to read/browse when in the bus/plane/on a park bench/in bed. Another interesting use case if to be able to pin your boarding pass to the lockscreen (no need to turn on the phone when reaching the gate; no more dead battery anxiety). Think of a shirt pocked version of the Kindle PaperWhite.
I wouldn't like to sound too much like a fan -- but the most liberating feature is certainly to be able to leave for a long weekend, without having to worry about recharging your phone.
