iPad screen is definitely better than Archos 70/101; especially the viewing angle; but I don't find it a major issue because I usually look straight to the screen.

Just to update: the more I use Archos 70, the more I love it. It's light, thin, portable, and have very smooth operation (don't use stock launcher, use something else, e.g. LauncherPro+).

As an ebook reader, I also found the Moon+ reader app (for ePub) very good and also supports Fora dictionary integration. You can dim the screen down with your finger by rubbing down at the left edge of the screen.

For mobi, Kindle for Android is also great; but I would like offline dictionary support in next version to make it perfect.

For PDF, I read magazine on Archos with Adobe Reader (fatest among other pdf reader) on landscape mode without any zoom required.

Kindle app + Adobe Reader + Moon+ are enough for my reading on Archos 70.
