That's exactly why I want to give the ipad a try. I love my prs900, but I find it difficult to read in less favorable lighting because of the glare from the screen when I'm trying to find a good angle to read. Plus, I can already see the ipad being used more than just me at home because it'll allow quick access to email, facebook, weather, etc... because it's like an "always on" device that anyone can get on and access.
I will be thoroughly using the ereader function and will let you all know how useful it is.
