Really?
Are you using it as an eReader?
I find the text on the HP Touchpad just fine for me, but if I were reading books on it, perhaps it wouldn't be so great. I just don't know, as I've never...

Same here - I love reading on the ipad, esp. on the plane or in bed with the lights out. It doesn't work well in bright sunlight, but other than that I could read all day long on it.

Not at all. In fact, it's easier for me because with a touch, the font is bigger, and I don't even need my reading glasses. I can read for hours at night without problems. I could probably read...

If you read much, that in itself will justify keeping vs. selling. I absolutely love my iPad for reading. I especially love to read at night without the light on bothering my husband. I read...

It would have to be hours and hours for it to bother me. The thing that bothers me on the iPad2 and other older tablets is the low resolution. For text a high DPI is a must.

For books it's a must. Web pages are fine since you aren't sitting there for hours reading just text with no pictures. Don't get me wrong, it's doable for some people, but it just annoys the hell out...

It's simple. It has a bigger screen, which means doing email, playing games, using maps, etc, are a blast, as compared to the teenie weenie smartphone screen.
It's unfortunate that it won't get...

I mean if you're fine with your droid you can just sell the IPad and get yourself something nice later on or something.

A couple of really good suggestions, thanks to several of you and I repped you. I'll be sure to try out eBooks and I'll set up an iOS alert.

Is it worth voiding the warranty? Maybe I need to look into it more but to me it seems a bit risky to do with a new iPad.

The backlit screen doesn't bother you when reading for extended periods of time? This is the only gripe I've heard when it comes to iPad vs. a non-backlit eReader.

Closing my eyes and listening to a story, must be pure bliss.

so.. apple improved upon the ipod by adding 5" to the screen, which helps improve the device's snooze factor - sounds about right

That would be my preference too, as long as the OP likes the idea of a 7 inch highly portable device.
