This is a feature in the Kindle app for iPad but seems to be available in most of the reading apps.
That being said, there are those who claim they have difficulty reading on an iPad. I'd suggest you borrow one from a friend or visit an Apple store to see if you like the experience. I can share a story about my brother who claimed he much preferred his Kindle to the iPad, but strangely loved my Kindle app on my iPhone - go figure! As an e-reader it works for me and for many others. But someday I will probable buy an e-ink device for the great battery life they offer. I waiting for the time when we get past the format wars.
Also, as I understand it, the iPad2 is quite a bit lighter than the iPad1. While the weight doesn't seem to be an issue for me, it is an issue raised by some.

Thanks Jim. I do have a Kindle that I really like. If I do get an iPad it would be an added device, surfing, email, etc. and reading.
One day I say yes I want one the next day I say I'll wait and see about iPad 3.
