I had an iliad, which has an 8.1-inch display, it was not nearly acceptable for pdf's (don't get me wrong, I liked the device for reading, and playing chess and such), but my main goal was reading technical pdf's, and I found it unsuited for that task.
The ipad has a 9.7" display, which is approaching 25% bigger, and that will make quite a difference (at least I am hoping).
I am still curious about the QUE, but I am repelled by the WinCE OS on it, and the fact that I always felt burned by IRex, with all the vaporware they promised and never delivered on.
All of this, is of course, my humble opinion.
I just want my pdfs to be readable, everything else is icing on the cake.
