We got my father an iPad for Christmas, mainly for reading (although he uses it for games now too). He very explicitly didn't want an e-reader. He liked the screen much better and found it easier to read. My mother has a Kobo (and my sister a Kindle) so he knew what those were like. My sister has since bought an iPad Mini. She uses it for a number of things, including yoga videos when she's not at home.
