I have to say that while I really wanted the iPad because I figured it'd be much more pleasant to read ebooks on than my iPod Touch, I haven't actually read a book on it in the six weeks or so that I've had it. I watched a couple of TV shows and YouTube videos, and I've played a number of games. I've listened to podcasts on it. I've kept up on my news feeds and other websites (including this one) and my social networking sites. I've used SSH and VNC apps to make my home computer perform tasks while I'm away. And I've read way too many comic books. I still mean to read actual books on it, too, but if there's one way the iPad fails for me as an ereader it's that I can do so much other stuff on it (and that I'm easily distracted). If I had limited my apps to Stanza and Kindle, I would, no doubt, have a lot more iPad reading under my belt, but so far reading ebooks is one of the few things I haven't done.
