hmm Makes me start thinking whether there could be a cross between the two. Some sort of fully colored and intractable but non luminous display surface.

I’ve read quite a bit on my iPhone too using Stanza with a dark background and light text. But I figure I spend enough time as it is staring at a screen so I don’t want to push my eyes any more than necessary :)

haha Fair enough. I read a ton on my iPhone had no trouble with the back light (hopefully time won’t tell). I haven’t experienced the whole e-ink thing though.

I go iMac > MacBook > iPhone ~ and soon iPad. I’m really excited. I’m hoping it allows me to focus in on the few primary tasks I want achieve with it.

I can’t see myself having the need for an iPad between my MacBook Pro and iPhone. Reading ebooks on a backlit screen (like the iPad) would cause much more eyestrain as compared to an eink display.

So I really would have no use at all for an iPad : )

It looks all fine and dandy but the question is you gonna get an iPad? :D
