I played with an iPad the first week they came out and it's very slick

I have a bigger bulky Lenovo x61t right now, but the size and weight and fan all make it not so good for e-book reading and not so portable. I really hate the way the extended battery pokes out the back (and yet I only get 5+ hrs of battery life). Still, if there was a good $500 netbook convertible with 10+hr battery life and typical 10" netbook size and weight, it would probably be at the top of my list.

Ah, I get the picture now.
You’d really like something lightweight with the slick interface of the iPad and 10 hours of battery life, but still with all the features and versatility of the Lenovo, and all for $499. Me too.
As far as I can tell, the one we both want is called the UR Dreaming 2 and it currently looks like it’s due out in about 2015.
It sounds like you’ve gone all weak at the knees for a pretty interface and can’t quite bring yourself to admit to your trusty Lenovo that you’re eyeing off a mistress. My advice is to cough up for an iPad, and work out the rationale later. Then keep saving for the UR Dreaming 2 (we all know it’s coming eventually...). That’s quite possibly what I’ll do too, when the iPad gets released here. Even though I already have a tablet that does a perfectly good job of absolutely everything I need ...
Cheers,
