I looove my iPad generally, but I'm not overwhelmed by the overall reading experience after a few years with my Sony 500-series devices. The iPad is a little bit heavy and thus a little cumbersome to lie around with completely comfortably. It's still going to be my primary reading device (I like the backlighting, and the screen is in every way fine for me), but I wish it weighed just a bit less.
(I should add to this the caveat that I acquired an infant a couple of weeks before I got the iPad, so that much of my reading is now done one-handed, with said infant in the other. Reading is much more comfortable when both hands are available.)
