I still use my Opus daily for reading, but I am also increasingly using my iPad. Usually the iPad is only for graphics-heavy books, or comic books (love the Comixology app), or pdf books that are not readable on a smaller screen. But I even occasionally read a "normal" text-only book on the Kindle app. Oh, and I almost forgot, I read newspaper on dedicated apps on the iPad (Le Monde and the New York Times). Plus a very occasional magazine.

I have set the brightness to a low setting, and in the Kindle app I use the sepia tones, which I like very much for a comfortable reading.

So all in all I do quite a lot of reading on the iPad, but it's mostly more like browsing than reading: usually I don't read for a long time, it's more one news article or a few pages of a comic, or a web page, then move on to something else. To read literary books, my choice is still the Opus and I don't see that changing in the near future.
