For e-books, I would say that the Kindle or Nook is better reading wise. E-ink uses next to no energy and can get a very good contrast for easy reading. But if you want e-books and more, then iPad is perfect. The Kindle DX is almost as big as the iPad but is almost the same price, too.
I don't think eye strain will be an issue. From a foot away or more, LCDs don't cause much issue anymore. The only time I have eye strain is from my iPod touch since its so small and sometimes you're playing a game for 15-20 minutes before realizing it. The larger screen of the iPad should eliminate this issue.

ok, that's what i was thinking. I thought I'd read that some smaller devices had started using OLED screens (cell phones and such). Or maybe that was AMOLED.... too many dang acronyms!
I may have to go find an iPad and check it out when they are released... but I also agree that they had better get Flash on there. Whether or not you like Flash, you have to admit that right now its on enough pages that not having it on a web surfing device is a huge drawback, till everyone switches to something better (lookin at you HTML5!!)
