"And... eye strain with the ipad?... If you're reading scientific pdfs you should be used to read on the screen "
I am in principle used to read on the screen, indeed I have two 24'' monitors, and that sort of works quite well. It is just that I find actual paper a lot more relaxing, and am now looking for something like that.
Chances are I will inherit the ipad if my - slightly more gadgety brother - decides the Ipad II is worth his attention. On the other hand - I would love to have as said a plain reading device for the papers where I do not need to switch on the PC, which I can read in a cafe, on a train etc.
