In the real world I am a network adminsitrator and as such we IT people typically hate Apple for one reason - They are proprietary - in other words you are locked into Apple for everything. If you like being forced to pay a lot more for books then by all means go ahead Apple makes a great product.

If all you are doing is reading books the ipad is really overkill, can do that but its ackward for that. The Kindle is much better if all you want to do with it is read books. But lets be clear about what the Kindle DX is not the best thing for (and no reader can be everything to all people, that's simply impossible), its not color, its not touch screen, it costs a lot, can't read anything you throw at it, can't dispaly books in just about any langeuge at all.

You want color - try a Nook Color or a Libra Pro Color.
You want touch screen - Try a Sony PRS
You want cheap - Try a Libra Pro
Want to read anything you can throw at it - Try a Pocket Book
Want to read in any langeuge at all - Try a Bookeen.

The Ipad is overkill for reading books.
