Reading an iBook on the iPad

I just remembered that you don't have to use the animation aspect of tap and slide for a page turn, if you would rather, you can tap the side of the page and it just fades into the next page from there.

Hi..
Yet i am not concern through the iPad and really i have just heard and read about it on Internet but yet don't get chance to use so not having any idea...

I think the only problem with reading on the iPad will be in bright sunlight. As far as the talk about e-ink being so much better in room/office lighting how eye-straining it will be, I don't buy it. I mean I don't see a lot of people leaving office buildings and bumping into walls from the eyestrain of looking at their computer screens for a few hours. I actually think that the most serious problem with reading a computer screen is not the video display brightness but the posture problems causing neck aches -- and the iPad is a nicely holdable tablet like the Kindle so no problem-o there.

Good call...I think the glossy screen could make outdoor reading tough

My guess is that the screen will be optimized for reading or other long term use. I used to use a Palm book reader a lot and never had any eyestrain from the backlit display. The small size of the print was a problem but Apple has that taken care of.
