"It weighs too much" mmm considering some of the books I lug around that weigh 4 or more pounds, I guess 1.5 pounds should be manageable.

"Its too big" - Its the size of an A4 sheet of paper 1 cm thick, which is how big an open book normally is are they not?
I think you're misunderstanding what I said. I was only explaining why the iPad wouldn't kill off 6" readers. I did not complain about the iPad itself, but only in relation to 6" readers. I can understand why you'd get one; it's a pretty neat device.
