QuiltE...I have the kindle reader software on my iPad so that's what I read in. My DH got it for me last year for my bday. You might want to go to Amazon and download the software and try a book from the link Jan posted. It's not the same as a reader when you have it on a computer but you could see now it can be adjusted for your personal preferences. I love my iPad but it isn't compatible with acrobat software so there are some files on websites that I can't read.
