Personal experience, iPad2 is horrible for most things except playing games (has a very good number of awesome games) and some really good paid apps. Otherwise device sucks big time.

For reading books go for a cheap android like Pantel (3.5k), or a basic Kindle (6k) or a Kindle Fire (14k). Or maybe a Notion Ink Adam for around 20k.

Heard about its hopeless screen viewing angles from somewhere... But it seems to have a really good developer support and is the cheapest 10" dual core tablet.

Anyway, for reading I think nothing beats Basic Kindle @ 6k. It serves ONE purpose really well, and has the highest battery life when reading books.

Good developer support?Where?
XDA devs for Adam have given up long ago.
It is a pathetic tablet...just barely usable after hours of modding.
Bought one from Flipkart,resting in peace somewhere with my dv6 along with other junks.
