The other issue with the iPad is its lower dpi. The various eInk readers all have around 150 to 170 dpi, but the iPad has 132 dpi. This is a lot less than the 163 dpi on the iPhone, and it's a noticeable drawback when reading small print. Don't get me wrong, it's not unreadable by any means, and I find that reading SCIAM on the iPad to be quite acceptable without zooming at all. It would sure be nice if someone, anyone, would make a device for mimicking print that had a serious 300 dpi or so.
