I got my 3G version last Friday. That night I lay in bed reading but after some 30-40 minutes began to feel as if I was staring into headlights. When I work on a computer, like right now, I look at the screen for a few minutes, then turn away, then turn back, but when I am reading I am staring at the screen for many minutes at a time, and then I wind up noticing the light shining right back at me. When I stopped reading and looked away, I felt as if I had been staring at the sun. The iPad makes me pine for a similar device with an e-ink screen, I will not be able to use it to read for long periods of time. It's a slick netbook replacement but for me at any rate it's a subpar book reader.
