Different strokes for different folks I guess. The iPad is my 4th device that I can read ebooks on and I love it. I have a Sony 505, a Jetbook and a Kindle. For each one, I have to remember which formats can be read on which device & need to convert appropriately. What I love, love, love about the iPad is that I can read all formats on one device. My ePub go into iBooks, my Kindle can be accessed thru the Kindle app, my pdf in Goodreads. Yes, I know it takes 3 apps to do it but they are all on ONE DEVICE. Plus, the device has so many other functions like listening to my music, checking my email, internet, etc. And, I love that I can read it in the dark.
The only drawback for me personally is the glare in the daylight so I am planning on keeping a back up device for travel - beaches, cruises, etc. I don't experience the eye strain that others say they do and I read it for hours.
