I am glad you find it OK for reading in bed. But for me, it is way too heavy for that. As I said the iPad is also slightly too heavy for reading in bed, in my opinion. Only the Kindle works well for that as far as I am concerned. The kindle is somewhere less than a pound, The iPad is about 1.5lbs. The as-yet-to-be-delivered Pocket eDGe, stated to be 1 pound, may be suitable for bedtime reading in my opinion.
