I think that perhaps we should remember that this is MobilRead - the majority of participants are readers of text - that is, books. E-ink is the proven display for ebook readers because of its similarity to black ink on white paper, and is ideal for extended reading. There are a few ebook readers I've seen advertised on the net that use traditional computer displays, but none have caught on with the majority of those that read ebooks extensively. The ipad doesn't have a display similar to e-ink so I doubt if it has any chance of converting dedicated ebook readers from their e-ink display devices to the ipad. For tunes, photos, perhaps video, yes it looks ok, but of course there are traditional tablets or the upcoming slates with full computer os that will complete for that market. After all, the ipad is a tablet even though one with a phone os.
