Ipad sounds good and I have one ordered, but it is, by all accounts, way to heavy to hold with one hand and needs to be "propped" on something for lengthy reading. It also is not great in bright light. I do not think these can be solved with present tech.
What we really need is something that:
1) Is as power efficient and lightweight as e-ink
2) Has color display as good as a print magazine or LCD/OLED screen
3) Has fast reaction times for video
4) Can be used either backlit or not, depending on the environment, w/o loss of any of the above characteristics.
5) Is as cheap or cheaper than present tech.
As far as I know, no one is even close to the above.
I plan to use both Kindle and iPad, depending on the content and situation.
