I love mine, though I'd like improvements such as lighter weight and longer battery life. I'll switch if another company comes up with a much better tablet.
iPad has replaced netbooks for me while on the go. It's also largely replaced my Kindle. I used that extensively for 15 months. For more extensive computing, I still use a laptop.
I quickly became spoiled by iPad's larger screen and backlighting, which I set on low. I love touch screen for all sorts of scrolling (news, blogs, shopping), as well as book reading. I used to read books on netbook before Kindle emerged and found it annoying to change pages with a mouse or on netbook keyboard, because it was easy to accidentally move the cursor off the next-page icon. That was a pain, because I prefer to read books slumped in an easy chair or in bed. Of course, those are personal preferences, and I've worked (editing) and read for leisure on computers for decades without eye problems.
I'd wanted a tablet for years (mostly for e-books, e-mail and Internet), and Apple was the first to offer enough functionality to serve my needs. I don't own or plan to buy any other types of Apple computers. I hope iPads (and other tablets) spread quickly. I don't want to be an Apple demo person, and I don't want to draw attention with my stuff.
