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.

The weight seemed about the same as the Kindle DX. I didn't particularly notice it, or mind it. The Kindle 2 is lighter of course, as expected given the size.
Come to think of it, one advantage of the Kindle shape is, that when I am in my usual reading position, lying down, I rest it on my lower chest - then the wider space allotted to the keyboard places the screen perfectly in my field of view
The Sony 505 I used to have was similar in that way.
My advice would be to definitely try it before you buy.
