With the iPad, there was definitely slight blurriness after about about 30 minutes. Not nearly as bad as with the iPhone, but still, it was there.
2. Screen size is too small. Reading a book, it felt even smaller somehow than my Kindle DX, even though they are the same size. It may have been because the higher resolution of the Kindle allows me to read a smaller font size more comfortably, or it may have been just the layout of the page.
So, my hopes are on the Google tablet, or the Adam, or whatever.... But at least now I don't feel like I am missing something.

Interesting - I've been **really** looking forward to one - mostly to sketch on. I've dreamed of an electronic sketchbook for years. But I'm curious about reading on it, too, so I'm interested in your experience with the screen. I do find that my laptop leads to eyestrain if I do too much reading at home, even though I'm fine at work - I think i must use the work screen less intensely or something.
Did you mind the weight? My sony reader is great - but it is much lighter - and I've been wondering if the ipad will be too heavy to hold in bed or when in relaxed reading postures. I have some arthritis in my neck, so have been wondering if will be a poor choice for reading.
