I've been using a Kobo Touch for a few months and was happy enough with it until my wife started using it, now it's hers, I don't know how that happened !

So I'm in the market for an eReader for myself

I've been looking at the Kindle Touch, it's available here for $A185- or about $A155- from Amazon including postage

Though I have other eReading requirements such as technical magazines, newspapers, comics etc that an eInk reader doesn't do very well

So I'm considering an IPad 2 as an eReader, they're available here for $A399-

Reading technical magazines, newspapers, comics etc shouldn't be a problem for me as the time I spend reading them is only a half hour or an hour but I'm concerned how I'll cope with reading novels were I may be reading for a couple of hours at a time

Is reading on the IPad as tiring on the eyes as a full size computer screen ?

Are IPad users happy using it as an eReader ?

Thanks for any advice
