Hm, have you played with an iPad?

The brightness doesn't really go down enough for long-term reading in a darker room. For instance, even with the brightness all the way down, the Kindle app screen is still a bit too bright. Same with iBooks, which at least has built-in brightness option.

I don't think the screen is bad at all, although for many avid readers e-ink may be a better option.

Tablets, however, can provide a more pleasant experience though, by presenting book pages closely resembling printed pages, with good design and font rendition (I am not sure the iPad in particular fully succeeds in this).
