Then hopefully, Apple will reduce the resolution of the iPad 4 to 169 ppi.

Really depends on the person, doesn't it? I have a Nook Color which is probably around the same as the iPad Mini's pixel density and it's still a bit pixelated for me for use as a reader.

Size isn't the problem. Battery life is. The iPod Touch is great if all you need it for is audio output. If you need the display on, then battery life becomes abysmal. I think I only get around 4~5 hours reading time at dimmest setting with auto-brightness off.

I was never happy with the pixel density for the first two ipads for reading, so I can't get myself to bite on the ipad mini, but then I know that my dreams of extended deep reading on it would be constantly broken by the need to check email, surf the web, or play games, as I do on my ipad 3. |

Has anybody here received the iPad mini yet? I'm curious as to how it is for reading? I would only use it to read and light browsing.

I'm not sure how much ebook reading I'll do with the mini, I got it for surfing and email and messaging and portability. I'll give it a try with the kindle app for an hour tonight and report back. |

Just spent about two hours reading on my iPad mini - love it as an e-reader. I may never buy a Kindle again.

I read for an hour with the Kindle app, no eye strain and I didn't notice an pixelation. I need a skin for the slippery sucker though, so I can hold on and so it won't slide when I prop it up on my leg or a pillow.
