I have had a Kindle for a few years and an Ipad 2 for a week. Foe reading I still prefer the Kindle. The weight and e ink does it for me and of course the battery life.

Loving the Ipad for magazines, pdf's and some books such as travel guides and books with tables and so on.

What HappyMartin says, except that I have an Opus, not a Kindle. I love my new iPad and I'm happy I finally have a way to read pdfs and comic books or books with (color) illustrations, but it will never replace my Opus for simple reading, either at home or on the train.

I'm starting to get used to the iPad's weight (mostly I just rest it on my knees), and I have reduced the luminosity as much as I can, but it's not as comfortable as the Opus for long reading sessions.

It is worth finding reading apps that allow you to lower the brightness below the minimum that the build-in scale offers. Stanza offers this for text reading, and ComicZeal and Bookman both do for comic book reading, for example.
When reading at night, even the built-in minimum brightness is far too bright to read comfortably.

Ah yes, good point, thank you.
