10 hour battery life with backlight is very cool,

The IPAD has changed the Ereader market,

But I agree with others, IPAD is a kindle killer and every other ereader killer.

I guess almost none of us read up to 10 hrs a day,but I would still prefer a ebook reader that i usually do not need to worry of charging for about 1 week (the average for most ereader user). This feature is especially nice if going for short-trip of 3-4 days where charger for the ereader need not be carried around (charger for the netbook, handphone,etc are already burdensome enough)
It is really hope that the IPAD will 'jolt' the manufacturers of ereader to add-in more necessary features into the ereader
1.Touch screen (for turning pages)
2.effective search features
3.Dictionary link
4.Effective bookmarking features
5.Highlighting
6.Wifi

Most of these features are mostly lacking in ereader (especially the lower priced type)

Hence the IPAD will not be a ereader killer, this i am absolutely sure because i know that i will not be alone, millions will be like me, possibly will not buy a IPAD (not that it is not good, but it just does not satisfy what i want in a e-reader)
Not everybody likes music,picture video,comic etc, some just like to read only!

So just as a person (who loves beef) cannot tell someone else that he is stupid just because that someone does not like beef. Ereader owner should not be called stupid just because they like to read only but do not like music ,picture & video.

With reference to 'coronary artery disease',who is more stupid ? a person who loves beef or a person who 'hates' beef' (all other coronary risk factors assume to be equal) ?
