And the larger iPad Pro (not the regular 9.7 inch size) is a non-starter for general reading, at least for me. A great graphic tool and presentation tablet, but I’ll stick with the 9.7" version for my ebooks.
I do know people who swear by the featherweight iPad Mini, but that screen is just too small for me. Since my first e-reader was one of the old RocketBooks – a true brick – even a regular iPad seems pretty lightweight in comparison.
How far we’ve come… the iPad + Marvin is a reader’s nirvana, and it’s about to get even better with v3.

Actually, I meant to say the iPad Pro, which is what I do most of my reading on these days. It's great for PDF and really is nice for regular books. I've never really had a problem with it being too heavy.
