I'm not going to assume the iPad will be a great book reading device. I'm just saying I won't know until I try it. I know I don't like reading books on my laptop -- but that might be the size of the screen, how far away it is, etc.

I know I do like reading on my iphone -- and it's an LCD screen. I have indeed read for 10 hours on a few lazy Saturdays. No problems with eye strain. Just had to plug it in while I ate and it was ready to go for more reading.

So -- will the iPad be like iPhone or my laptop? We'll wait and see.

Oh -- and as a software developer I look at my laptop screen 8 to 10 hours a day as it is. It only kills my eyes when I'm reading long form books. Don't know why that is.

For me -- sharing my photos is more important than reading ebooks on it. I've seen those beautiful Apple screens and love that my photos will look great on the device.
