So the one thing which can not argued away is iPad outside + sun = no go.

But if i am honest, i like my iPad very much. So if you can afford the best will be keep your DX for reading and get a cheap 16GB Wifi iPad.
You don't understand. Steve is trying to tell you to avoid direct sunlight, which is bad for you! So he is using the iPad to help you do that. Clearly, e-ink readers increase your risk of skin cancer!

I do agree that the best solution is an iPad PLUS a Kindle. But I think the iPad should be a 32.
