For me, dedicated e-readers fall short. I still have my Kindle, but I read it now only when I have to charge my iPad. I would like a tablet with longer battery life.
Many say iPad isn't for real readers. All iPad owners aren't readers, of course. There are a good number of us who are, though. That's why we're here, instead of on YouTube or whatever.

I agree that the iPad does have its strong points. And if you "want it now" it is not a bad choice. But for me it is still too far from what I would want in a color reader. I will wait for new screen technologies and a thinner, much lighter device with a very small bezel.
