The Ipad may be a great thing, an expensive thing and the next thing. I bought my Sony PRS600 because I spend a lot of time all day looking at LCD screens and I think that it may be damaging my eyesight - towards evening my eyes are stinging and watery - okay they ARE old eyes but even so, the e-ink placidity is very welcome. The only thing I found disconcerting was that the ambient light had to be a bit high to read comfortably. As far as multi-tasking is concerned - the ipad doesn't - if you need to get a tablet computer. I hope my ebook reader remains dedicated to reading for at least another three years.
