What kinds of things should I be using my Xoom tablet for?

Have pity, guys, and remember that I’m functionally illiterate when it comes to technology (or so it sometimes feels).

As my family gift, I received a Xoom family edition tablet for Christmas. I’ve finally got my router up and running (thanks for the help, Fluther community), and I’m at a little bit of a loss as to what I should use my tablet for.

For those of you who use one, what do you like best about it? What are it’s advantages? How much do you use it? Does it have applications for work, as well as home? Are there aps that you recommend? Any pitfalls I should avoid?
