I'd take a look at the nook.

Nook is 7inch.

And only for ereading.

Suppose it would be nice spending this kind of money to browse email, surf net and read downloaded PDF mags.

The nookcolor runs android iirc and can be used for a lot more than just ebooks.

If you want to trick people into thinking you have an iPad that one that you mentioned looks pretty convincing.

Watched the youtube vids, checked screenshots - look mooi........and for the price.

Just played around with the iPad at one of our clients, setup email and wireless.

Very nice - videos are very clean.
PDF docs are like an lcd screeen on laptop and I think will train your eyes.
Also a tad heavy but I think you can get used to it.

Do you mean strain? I read a lot on mine and adapted very quickly.
