Is the ipad really good for reading?

It seems like a good idea, but after holding it for a few minutes, it starts to get heavy. Also, it’s a monitor and you’re staring at a monitor for long periods of time…that’s bad when you’re already looking at a monitor for work. The other thing is the glare and reflection that makes it hard to read and annoying to see yourself in the reflection. I saw the kindle I believe and it showed people on the beach relaxing and reading. You can’t do that with the ipad because of the glare and reflection.

I agree with you. For reading use, I think you should definitely go for the Kindle instead of iPad. The iBookStore of iPad is too unmature at this moment. And there has been many users complaining that if you look into the screen of iPad for reading over an hour, your eyes will get very tired because of the backlight. See an article about this here:

There are two models of the Kindle. Here are some good comparisons between the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX. Guess they will help you decide which is more suitable to you:
