Its sort of like buying a Cadillac Deville when a Ford Fusion SE would do the job great - yeah you could do it that way but why?

One reason people use an ipad for the job is that they have the ipad for other jobs and are simply adding another task to the jobs it performs, but don't buy one for simply electronic book reading.
It also depends upon what you plan on reading....

I have an Aluratek Libre Pro. I love it's simplicity and size. I use it for ebook reading.

I also have an iPad, that I use primarily for magazine and comic book reading. It does a superb job for that. I haven't found an other device that can handle magazines and comics as well as the iPad. But I wouldn't choose to use it for reading books.

With the plethora of DVDs loaded with classic comic books and magazines (Entire run of Star Trek comics costs only $6= 500+ comics, 200+ Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines=$15)
