I'm not surprised -- everyone is going to have their own personal opinions. I love reading on the iPad. Here are some things to try.
1. Do you have the iPad case? I found holding the iPad to be heavy. When I got the case, it gives the ipad a wider base (I read laying down a lot with the ipad resting on my belly) -- which made reading much more comfortable.
2. Use a larger font -- or adjust the margins. When I did the jailbreak thing to run Stanza (before Stanza for the iPad came out) -- I didn't enjoy reading as much because with no margin controls, the line length was too long for me. My eyes had to move more across the page.
3. Change the screen brightness. You don't want the screen to be much brighter than the light around you. If you are in a dim to dark room, try "night mode" (the kindle app can do this, iBooks you'd have to change the settings on the iPad itself). White text on black background is very comfortable on the eyes when the room light is dim.
4. Give it some time. I loved reading on my iPhone right away. I did NOT instantly love reading on the iPad. I did not buy my iPad primarily as a reading device as I enjoyed reading on the iPhone. Within a week, though, I pretty much stopped reading on my iPhone because I got hooked on the larger iPad screen.
5. Try the different ereading apps. I like iBooks best, but I like Stanza too and the kindle app. With the Stanza app you can try one of their themes or build one of your own.
