Reading on the iPad

I am nearly finished reading my first book on Lola (the iPad). Things that I like include the size and the fact that the book doesn't fold in on itself when I happen to be lying on my side and that I can lock the screen so it stays the same no matter how I move. I can change the font size, adjust the brightness of the background, and easily turn pages with just a tap of my finger. I can also see how many pages I have left in a chapter, a feature that usually encourages me to finish the chapter I'm on before putting the iPad up for the night. Things that are annoying include the weight - it's slightly heavier than a standard size book, and the potential for screen glare (I hear that's not a problem with the Kindle). So far, I've read my book all around the condo, at the DMV, in the car, and in the common room of our building and every time I've encountered glare, I was able to adjust the way I was holding the iPad to eliminate the glare. I'm not sure this would be possible, though, if I was at the beach and there was sun all around. To test this theory I suppose I should drive out to the beach and see how it works. It's now on my to-do list. I sort of thought I'd completely dislike reading on the iPad. I don't. And I think that's a good thing. I do wish there was some way I could share books once I buy them, without having to hand over the iPad, too. I am able to do this with a regular book I purchase so I'm not sure why there can't be a feature that allows one to do this. Perhaps there is an app for book sharing? Anyway, that's the latest on Lola. I'm still liking her a lot. I find it particularly entertaining - it doesn't take much - to send emails because I love to see that little "sent from iPad" signature at the bottom of the email.
