Thanks for feedback guys. Seems that I will go with Kindle DX. I am expecting that reading will be fine even on direct sunlight which I am not sure is the case with iPAD. Basically I just want to buy simple e-book which will be ergonomic for my eyes as much as possible. Thanks for offer Michael, but I am already using standard glasses. :( Yesterday I found quite positive feedback:
