It has seriously changed the way I read.
BUT, be forewarned that the more apps you install on your Ideapad A1, the worse it will get, and the slower it will run. I have mine for about 5 months now and it has all sorts of problems -- apps will not work, the sd card slot does not work, gps has been not working since day 1.
Oh and did I mention that the customer service blows hard?!

Oh, I agree. And the screen on mine was malfunctioning after just a week so I returnned it to Best Buy, actually, and upgraded (paying more) to a 10' Acer Iconiatab.
The Acer is working out. I've had it for exactly a month. I like having the USB and I am able to do stuff like download podcases from Beyondpod and put them on my MP3 player (a Walkman MP3) as well as moving documents to and from it with a usb drive.
Anyway, I also agree the Kindle app rocks. I love how relatively seamless it is to read the same book on 2 devices (my phone and tablet). I still think that my Kobo is a better reading device (I sent it on vacation with my mother, though, so I am without that) and my Walkman is a better music device but I am liking the Acer so far.
As far as reading, a 10' Android Tablet is great for Comics and Graphic Novels. I certainly don't mind reading a regular book on it too much but it is a bit big and heavy, though not as much so as a big hardcover, as well as having that shiny, shiny screen and much less battery life than the Kobo. It does have better battery life than my phone, though.
