Eh, I'm still not particularly excited about iPads or tablets in general. Tablets are awkward, to the point that I prefer:
- my phone for casual reading and watching (6" max)
- my Kindle for longer reading sessions
- my laptop for mobile productivity and gaming
- my desktop for serious work/gaming
We mostly use our tablets to distract our kids, especially for long road trips. My wife has started using a tablet for drawing in lieu of a desktop drawing tablet, but that's about as close to "real" use of a tablet that we have.
It works out really well for some people, but I just don't see it.

If you own multiple tablets in addition to a Kindle, a laptop and a desktop computer, I’d say you are significantly more excited about tablets than the average tablet user.
