I'm just not sure if a device that large would be too cumbersome for reading on for hours at a time or not.
So just basically, all around, how is the iPad as a dedicated reader/web surfing device? I'd love to be able to just test one, but I live in the boonies, and the nearest BB or Apple Store, or anything really, is about an hour away, so no place to test it out.

The only thing I read with regularity on my iPad Pro are magazines. For me, it's too big for reading books. I do most of my reading on an e-ink device, a Kobo Glo HD.
I do have an iPad mini, and have read some books on it. I strongly prefer an e-ink device, especially in a dark room or outside in the sun. The mini would be be my second choice. I also do much of reading at night in bed...which makes the smaller 6" devices a better choice for me. And I don't like reading on a backlit screen. The front lighting on the Kobo and Devices like it are easier on my eyes.
I don't think I've ever read an entire book on any of my full sized iPads, aside from cookbooks, or to view pictures in a book.
