BUT: I already have to charge my iPad every single day. Often even while still using it. If I'd add reading, battery would run dry even faster. So it makes more sense, to do my specialised tasks on dedicated units. At home, that's no problem at all. So I have a PSP, an iPod touch and maybe my iPad on my desk. When traveling, it's easy enough to take PocketBook 360 or even Kindle DX with me for reading.
So I can save some battery on my iPad and still I don't have to do any compromises. I wouldn't do so, if eBook readers or game consoles would deliver lower quality.

Sure, mileage will vary with use and preferences. I figure it's great that there are many options for all types of readers / users. I don't get all the hate among some people.
