No fair! Where's mine!
I want to do the same thing. I'm actually waiting until next year, for the second generation iPad. The current one is a bit heavy. The second gen version is supposed to be carbon fiber or hard plastic resin, instead of aluminum. Thinner, too.
Note that you can jailbreak the iPad, and install "Frash" (Adobe Flash). Just FYI.
... unless another good device with color e-ink and comic sizing comes out. Then I may have to skip an iPad.
Anyway, Merry Christmas.
