Good point. I have an iPad 2; have been using it as my eReader (both iBooks and Kindle app) for a couple years now. Might go for the iPad 4 (are they calling it that now?) and wait for the inevitable iPad mini with Retina Display to come out next year.
The easy portability you mention is a key factor. I have a pilot friend (private pilot) that's saying the pilots he's talked to are much more keen on the iPad mini for that reason.
