You are giving the iPad too much credit as a eReader device.

What about the use in sunlight?

I still think the price point is too high to bring the true reader to this device.

I also think the size is too large to give you the feel of a book that the Nook and Kindle both have.

Time will tell.

Those who claim to be enamored of the necessity for the feel of a traditional book in their hands are not disappearing into the story as do good readers. ["I just like the feel of a book in my hands."] The exception may be expensive, finely-bound and lavishly-illustrated, antique editions.
