You are right about that, however, for someone who already owns one or looking to upgrade, needs to consider price and weight as well, even portability.
If someone has the money, investing on an iPad3 or whatever the new name is, will be a fantastic reading device, but remember you are paying a good amount of money for that. I guess people will put that in a balance and compare against a Kindle Fire or even a regular eink device.
The iPad is much more than just reading, is a fantastic tablet. But I do not consider its price to be really affordable for majority of people.
