So far I've read one and half books on the iPad (Kindle app). I haven't had any eye strain or arm fatigue, at least compared to holding any comparable sized device or a hard back book. Your mileage may vary. You have tried it, or are you complaining about it purely on philosophic grounds?
No, I can't hold it in bed over my head one handed while lying down, like I can my Sony 505, but it's quite a bit larger than the Sony. Would you say that hard cover books are useless for reading because they are heavier than paper back books or comic books? I hope not, because each has different strength's and weaknesses and each is optimize for a different reading experience. I read the iPad sitting in a chair. I have no plans to throw my Sony 505 away since I would be more likely to use that reading in bed or on a hiking trip.
