I waste 40 minutes a day on Skytrain commuting (it'd be over an hour if I drove). I read e-mails to get a head start on my days work. On my iPhone 4 (or any smartphone) reading short e-mails is OK, but reading longer e-mails or documents is a PITA. Doesn't matter how sharp the screen is.
Many of my e-mails contain PDF's with technical documents. These are the worst to try and read on a smartphone. So I wait until I get to work.
At work, I often have to print out technical documents and especially wiring diagrams before I go to look at a problem. I then take my 10+ pages of diagrams out to a vehicle I'm looking at while performing diagnostics/testing.
The ability to read (and store via iBooks) PDF files is alone worth the price of an iPad. I can read documents sent to me "comfortably" while commuting and I keep can iPad in front of me as a reference for my wiring diagrams/technical documents instead of wasting paper printing what I need. And if I need another page I forgot to print originally, I can simply flip over to it instead of running back to the desk to print more pages.
