Good to have your company, Dave. But don't let your disappointing experience with iPad put you off the e-reading device idea. After all, the iPad is a a jack of all trades machine, master of none. It is NOT primarily an ebook reader. And Apple is a hardware and software operastion. In their view content is hardlly king. They have no previous experience of publishing or even book retail.
And, believe me, they make it even tougher on publishers than on their poor readers.
There are many excellent and very flexible ebook readers out there ... and much cheaper. I don't know if you really need the bells and whistles and wifi and wotnot -- really isn't necessary, in my opinion. A simple single-fuction device in conjunction with, say, free Calibre library software on your PC or laptop will enhance your reading experience no end. This, I assure you.
Good luck and very best wishes. Neil
