Don't see why you got down voted. It's a valid opinion. Speaking as someone with an iPad and iPad 2 (both of which I love) they're a tad heavy for reading in bed. So are thick paperbacks, but the Kindle and Kindle Fire might just win on this factor alone.

I use my iPhone 4S as an e-reader before going to sleep. my iPad 2 for the rest of the day. my 4 year old son is using our old iPad 1 and he loves it.
