just got a kindle...it's great. i haven't had any problems with it. the battery life is fantastic - i've only had to charge it once (the first time i took it out of the box) and i finished a 488 page book in two weeks with 10% charge remaining.
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
Sure, my ipad isn't a dedicated e-reader, but I've read quite a few books on it (5 or so) using both the ibooks app and the kindle app since August when I picked it up, and haven't noticed any issues with reading on it for hours at a time. It's usually inside, that may make a difference as far as the glare goes.
One nice touch was the ability to research on the web while reading. One of the books I re-read was Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and there is a bunch of references to different Mythologies in it. Using the ipad allowed me to highlight a certain god/mythology and then to search google/wikipedia on the subject.
The benefit of having the convenience of the netbook aspect + netflix also means it gets a lot more use in my house, between my kids and I.
i like that you think 5 or so is quite a few. :P
That was after having it for a month, keep it in perspective. Still reading plenty of books on it months later. You want an updated count?
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
After researching for my wife for Christmas, I went with the Kindle. Several ppl I talked to chose the Kindle over the nook, and Consumer Reports rated both models of the Kindle over the Nooks.

I went with the Nook because you aren't stuck with only buying from Amazon and you can get books from the library. Hopefully my wife likes it.
