Personally, I have no desire to do my pleasure reading from an LCD (or LED, whatever it is) screen. Plus, factor in the battery life this thing will surely be sucking down, and I jusr don't see the ereader market being hit too hard.

You are complety wrong,and you have to admit and accept it in the next three years.
Ebooks reader makers should be worried; in fact, I have noticed how some of them have started price adjustment.
Beside of reading we are going to do much more things on an ipad. The led screen is reasonable for reading at least you keep reading more than 8 hours straight (how many people spent hours in front of their computers whose screens are actually led? are they complaining about that?) So far led screens have been implemented they seem work nicely even for just reading.
I'm not a MAC sissy or whatever. I don't own a damn Ipod (do you?!) but I'd like to back in time, get back the money I payed for my boring 4 greyscaled
outdoor readable e-ink screen and buy a new brand, multifunctional ipad.
