is the iPad a good ereader?

An article asks if the iPad is a good bargain for ebook readers.

I’d say that a tablet is a good bargain for ebook readers (it doesn’t have to be an iPad – an Android tablet will work just as well). If you have a really big library, it’s easier to manage on a tablet than on an eInk reader or a phone.

It’s also handy for propping up to read as you eat a sandwich with the other hand.
