I bought my iPad primarily as an ereader that could also largely replace my laptop's functionality. I think it fills both roles well. As to the wireless problems, some of the problems with dropping a connection and then demanding a new password can be solved by going to the wifi settings and selecting "ask to join networks" to OFF.
The only complaint I have about the device from an ereader standpoint is simply the DPI of the screen. At 132 DPI, it causes a noticeable loss of smoothness and crispness in character rendering on the screen; it woud have been so much better if they had kept the screen to the iPhone's standard or 163 DPI. I suppose that would have dramatically increased the cost for the device, though.
In any case, I am overall very impressed with the device and find reading books with it to be very enjoyable.
