In bright light, pretty bothersome. Turning up the brightness decreases the glare but that tends to give me a headache.
* How tiresome is it to read for long periods of time (over an hour)?
For me, it depends on how bright the backlight is. At low brightness, I can read for hours on end (although I mostly just use the iPad for reading manga).
* How long, on average, does the battery last, if you mostly have WiFi off, and use it mostly for reading?
With WiFi on at low brightness, I think I get around 8~12 hours worth of battery life. I never really turn WiFi off.
* If you have an eInk reader: Do you still prefer reading on the iPad rather than on the eInk reader?
If you meant primarily text works, then nope. I hate seeing all the pixels on the iPad. I prefer the PRS-350 or iPhone 4 (Retina Display) for reading fiction that's mostly text. For reference books, though, (e.g. programming books, PDF manuals, etc), the iPad is pretty great.
