I have a reading spot in my backyard in the shade (north side); I've taken my netbook out there, so I'd assume that my iPad would be just as fine.

I do like that smart cover. Even though I don't like the proprietary aspects of Apple products, when it comes to design and aesthetics, they're on top of their game. What made me not want to get the Kindle 1 was the design. I'd rather hold a heavy book than that big plastic ugly thing. LOL... Just like I'll pay a little more for great customer service; I'll pay more for pleasing aesthetics. I have enough electronics that that need to be kept away because they're utilitarian, but ugly.
