I have a lot of short-term downtime during the day, 20 minutes here, 40 minutes there, with nothing to do but wait, that reading fills nicely. Throw in a few hours here and there if the book really grabs me and I can do 10 hours in a day, easy. The other downside to iPad as a primary reader is the e-ink versus illuminated screen issue. Reading backlit text for hours on end can be a massive strain. The Kindle and other dedicated e-books have managed to recreate the appearance of a printed book, which the iPad really can't do. On the other hand, it'll be great for movies. The Kindle can pretty much be carried around and used like a paperback.

And although I'm in the minority, Faustus and Bacchus also make very good points about charging and battery life. For the record, *I* read for ten hours at a stretch, all the time.

Ten hours won't seem like that much if you're stuck in an airport for any length of time or on a flight between North America and Asia.

It doesn't matter how long you read, what matters is how often it goes dead. Because, unless you are Martha Stewart with a special room in your house for keeping all your charging devices in, you'll inevitably forget. Longer battery life -- measured in days or weeks, not hours -- is a big part of what makes the Kindle so useful. No, what kills the ebook experience is having the reader die while you are using it.

Do people read for ten hours at a stretch? Probably not. more like a few hours here, a few hours there, with time in between to recharge. It could work. I’m not so sure.

Particularly if you're reading a steamy novel. For a smart guy, Jobs is kinda dumb. Yeah, can’t do anything on a ten hour batter life. Particularly if you’re reading a steamy novel.
