I agree, but the iPad is supposed to be more of an all around media experience. It seems great for larger formats like magazines, newspapers, and text books though (once you get beyond the battery life and glare on the screen :P).

I'm not that impressed with the iPad. I think the design could have been more creative. I guess they were going with that familiar feel of the iPod Touch so people could easily transition to a newer product. It has all the apps and benefits of the Touch but more capability.

I'd still prefer my JBL for reading anyways.
