>>just too cumbersome

If you're reading literature, yes. But for full size pdf docs, you generally want more than 7". (I've heard people claim they regularly read A4 documents on 7", but never seen it...)

Also, my iPad 1 IPS screen blew me away. My new iPad screen is much better.

(I'd prefer an eInk A4 screen, when they get better page turns.)

I agree, for pdf docs and magazines and things like that it's great for. I almost only read non-fiction though, where the layout is flexible (again except for images).
