Not reading on iPad at all

I mainly read on 2 occasions: On the sofa or on the train.
In both instances, I simply find iPad too bulky and heavy.
I don't have any problems at all with the screen though.
But still I partially agree: Since the introduction of affordable and mobile tablets, only few reasons remain for dedicated eBook readers.
Basically, it's battery and contrast.
On the other hand, tablets have tons of additional features.

For the moment, my main gadget is Samsung Galaxy Tab. It perfectly fits in my coat's pocket, so I've got it with me "all the time".
It's the perfect travel companion (Qype and Google "in the wild").
In addition, I take Dell Streak with me. It's compact enough and easily fits in any pocket.
By taking 2 gadgets with me, the battery issue usually is solved. And I find Streak's 5" screen big enough for some quick reading. When I've got more time, I switch to Galaxy Tab.

I'd go for a 7" iPad in an instance. But for now, I actually don't have any real need for that huge display...
