I'd like this thread to be simply a sound off for folks who HAVE an iPad and HAVE spent time reading on it.

For me:

Overall I find the iPad fantastic for reading -- from reading indoors, to reading outdoors in the shade...once I adjusted the brightness of the screen and increased the font size.

It's weight is more an issue for me for reading long stretches at a time. I still read on my iphone at night when I go to bad -- because I just don't want the iPad's weight on my belly at that time.

Reading long form on my laptop does hurt my eyes, and so did the iPad -- until I started adjusting the brightness. Now I'm wondering if it was brightness all along.
