Kindle paperwhite 2 or iPad for e-reading?

I've mainly used kindles to read and own a kindle paperwhite. I pre-ordered the Kindle paperwhite 2, but now contemplating on canceling my order and switch to reading on the iPad. I have an iPad 3 and I have to say, I really like the bigger screen for reading. Haven't read much on the iPad yet..decided to give it a try recently, for none-kindle books I'm trying out Marvin and i have it both on my iPhone and iPad and love it.

How about eye strain? As I hear that's the most common argument against reading on a backlight screen.

I'm not a reader that reads hours on end..I have a short attention span so mostly I read maybe 30 minutes at the most in one sitting and that's long for me. Usually it's shorter sittings with breaks in between.

My main reason to order the paperwhite 2 is the better light and screen. I have a paperwhite 1 and no complaints there, just for the shadows on the bottom of the screen that get more pronounced when you make the light brighter.

so what would you advice? What do you like about reading on an iPad vs reading on a e-reader?

Thanks in advance.
