I read very little on my iPad, but that's mostly because I read on the train, and though I do take my iPad with me sometimes, I can only get it out if I'm sitting down. I couldn't use it while standing and holding it in one hand. An e-ink reader is better suited for that kind of reading.
One big advantage of the iPad against my Opus is the touchscreen, combined with the speed. For turning pages it's not really required, but looking up a word in the dictionary, or quickly flipping back a few pages to read a passage again, is so much easier and quicker on the iPad.
The backlit screen can be a problem sometimes, but I just adjust the brightness. It's relatively easy to do, press the Home button twice then slide the apps bar toward the left to got to the luminosity slider. I do it often but I can live with that.
Andrew H. makes a good point about the iPad 3 being better, because of the higher definition. But the iPad 2 does a good job for me.
