Personally, it makes me fume when I hear it described as an 'ereader' because it simply isn't unless we want to call anything with an LCD an 'ereader'.
also, the apps that are available range from the plain stupid to the extremely limited (due in large part to the closed eco-system).
Meh...so much hype!
I wish I could get some use out of it but as it is, it's simply a shiny brick.

Sounds like you ought to sell it or give it to me since it doesn't fit your needs
. I'm kind of surprised you didn't return it for a refund in the first few weeks that you owned it.
As far as e-ink, I don't find any wonders. E-ink causes me horrid eye strain unless I'm in an overly well lit area and I had e-ink devices prior to the iPad.
I love my iPad. I can read books, watch a Netflix, play some games, do email, browse the web, etc.
