Before I decided to buy my K3 I was quite tempted by the iPad, which seemed to offer book-reading capability and obviously many more features than a straight ereader. But what put me off was the weight. I couldn't imagine I would find it comfortable to read with in bed for any length of time.
Now I know that for some people the solution is a lighter 7" tablet, but if I am going to have a tablet I would want a 10" one, in order to get the most out of it. It's rather like some people being able to read books or watch videos on an iPhone. I know it can be done, but not by me.
There are always going to be problems that make all-purpose devices less than ideal. They may be improved in various ways. The iPad 2 is lighter, but still a bit heavy for me. Perhaps eventually there will be an iPad n that will be light enough!
