  LOL!

  I tend to read in bed, or on the couch in the living room...
  and the odds of my iPad falling into water are slim to none.

  There's somethingthing I find really nice about reading
  on iPad that I didn't think of prior to purchase...
  no need for a reading light.  I can be on a dark plane,
  bus, car or train...  or I can be in my bedroom
  with the lights off.  The thing provides it's own light.

  I also don't have to go to the library/store to get a new book.
  I tend to do a lot of stuff in the middle of the night,
  and this is much more convenient for me.

  I also don't have to worry about having a bookmark handy,
  or losing my place in the book... it keeps track of that for me.
  (Though, I can mark pages if I want to go back to them later.)

  I'll admit, reading books was not one of the main reasons
  I bought an iPad to begin with.  I never expected to like
  using it to read books.

  But, I do...  in fact, it's now one of my favorite features.
