Yeah...I'm on the "iPad bandwagon" as well. As I posted earlier, Santa delivered the nifty PRS600 "Touch" eReader and I've, after 11 weeks of determined effort (ie, daily reading using ONLY the device) to convert back to an eReader (had the Reb1100 back in the day, went to Palm and PalmTX and share reading on that with my iPod Touch), I give up.
PRS screen to "glare-y," interface too bulky (can't change status of book once it's on the device to either "save," (or whatever other level I want to label it), and the lack of backlight was the clincher.
I had increasing headaches and eyestrain (dry eyes, etc...) with the eReader (I tend to read mostly at night or in dark places as I'm waiting for trains/planes/meetings/movies, etc...). The tiny little book light just doesn't cut it and it's one more thing to lug around. The built-into-the-cover light doesn't cover the whole page without additional glare.
Yup. I give up.
I'll be selling my ereader to offset costs as well. My biggest concern is being able to read my legally purchased ePub files on the iPad. My solution (theoretical at this point, of course) is to install the Sony "Reader Library" onto my iPad and read as if I'm on my computer (which I will be, in mini-me form - computer being a MBP).
So...yup. Can't wait.
