A friend has pointed out that one can get TouchTerm to automatically run screen on login, and to automatically log in to a particular machine on startup, so it's kinda-sorta possible in a fairly bodgy kind of way. I've not been satisfied with that on my iPhone 3G, but the iPad should be a lot faster so... maybe.
(The other appeal for me? Decent sized screen, can run just about any ebook app so one can buy whatever's the best deal at the time. That alone is going to tempt me.)

But even if TouchTerm logs you back in, you aren't still in the same directory and your processes may be killed (unless you backgrounded them). This is one of the cases where true traditional multitasking will probably be required. The question is whether Apple will consider the use case common enough for them to decide to allow an appropriate app to use the existing multitasking capabilities.
The "any ebook app" is certainly attractive. Hopefully it will work out that way.
