I have no issue reading from the screen of the laptop or the two desktops. So I don't see an issue using an iPad to read.

I am rather tired of the "if it's backlit it's crap" argument. That's just not always so. If it can be read in full sunlight, then it's probably going to be OK. But if not, then I just won't have it. Can the iPad be used in full sunlight?
