I'm pretty certain I will be satisfied with the iPad.
If you like reading on your iPhone, except for the little screen, the iPad should be great. I played around with my iPhone and PRS-300 last night and came to an interesting conclusion. With the little iPhone screen I got as much readable text and on the larger 300's screen. The reason is the font has to be much larger on the 300 because of the contrast/non-backlit issue. The iPhone has fantastic contrast, and the backlit screen makes it so easy to see.

One of the reasons I bought a dedicated reader was to get a larger screen than my iPhone. I got the larger screen, but no real advantage over the smaller screen.

So why don't I just sell the 300 and read on my iPhone? Battery life......
