if you like a Glo, go with a Glo. most eink readers are going to be slower / less responsive than a tablet like an iPad anyways, but with an iPad you're expected to interact with the device often, swiping or pinch-zooming when playing a game or viewing multimedia drivel. with an ereader, you're only expected to interact with the device once every 1-3 minutes to do nothing more than turn the page (95% of the time).

as long as you still have plenty of access to the iPad for viewing a PDF or other stuff, don't worry about an ereader being a bit slower. buy a used ereader as cheaply as possible to make it your auxiliary / secondary device for just reading books, and leave it at that.

if you didn't have a tablet, then there's more decisions to be made as to which ereader device to spend your money on.
