Long hours of work in front of a computer leads to eyestrain and myopia. If people actually buy the hype and use the iPad to suddenly become avid readers, Steve Jobs will be responsible for the bispectaclisation (not a word I know) of millions. I say it’s a device for entertainment junkies primarily. Mainly cool touchscreen apps and improved games and well, amazing photo viewing I might add.

Do wish there was a new Kindle soon though. WIth a 7-inch screen 50% better contrast and maybe a touchscreen as well. That’ll be ‘revolutionary’ in my book. :p

Once it’s out and reviewed, my comparision shopping will not be between $259 eReaders and the Apple, but between Apple and the more upscale eReaders (Kindle DX, Sony Daily Reader, etc.), and it will very much involve a total cost of media comparision (e.g., is it a better buy to get a $700 Apple, or a $400 Sony plus an iPod Touch for non-eReader functions?). I hope these Kindle versus Competitor analyses take those externals into consideration, so I can finally feel smart enough to buy SOMETHING.

It will do a lot of not reading and the books will cost more. I might like one as a media device but it would not replace my Kindle
