My thoughts exactly! I bought a tablet (Viewsonic G) for exactly the same reason. Has wi-fi but not 3g. Do my downloading a home where I have wi-fi. Get my email, etc. on it. Tried reading at the pool the other day, and no amount of fooling around with the settings could I get a readable screen, unless I went in the shade. Experiment over! I ordered a Kindle yesterday (with 3G, of course!). Maybe the settings on the expensive iPad enable reading in the sun.
