I read on my pda's for years before eink even existed. Palm's and pocket pc's with the old ipaq 4700 being about the best pda device for reading given it's large hi resolution display.
They are fine for casual reading for me and the kindle app on the iphone has been nice with it's syncing ability, but for extended reading I personally don't think anything currently available beats eink. But again, that depends on your needs. If you need color then eink is not going to cut it at this point in time. The same thing would go for extended battery life. If you need more than 8 hours away from a power socket then I don't think the ipad is going to cut it. I know they quote 10 hours, but we also know how optimistic vendors typically are with their quoted battery life.
