Yeah, I've read a decent amount on my girlfriend's iPad--doesn't bother my eyes at all. But as I've said many times, I hardly ever read for more than an hour at a time and a couple hours a day tops, so e-ink isn't a big deal to me.
For the two criteria you list--battery life I care about, but don't need the week or two of e-ink. The 10 hours the iPad gets is fine. If I can get a tablet that gets 7-10 hours I'm good to go as it would last me a day of heavy (for me) use and I don't mind charging every night or two.
Weight's not a huge issue either as long as we're talking no more than 2 pounds. Still super easy to stick in my attache/laptop bag/briefcase I use all the time.
And for non-business travel where I don't need to do real work, I can leave my laptop at home and just take my tablet for reading and checking e-mail, surfing the net. Vs. currently taking my 15" laptop and my Kindle!
