Yah; I never said it was inexpensive, smile. I sold my iPad to get it. It does for me what I had hoped the iPad would do. but for me, Pages on iPad was really hinky, and sometimes my bt keyboard would just quit or other times the battery would be dead. Pages told me after every character I typed that the word was miss spelled. So if I wrote the word dog, instead of hearing d o g or dog, I'd hear word miss spelled word miss spelled word miss spelled. I even turned off auto correction and still had the same problem. I really wanted something light and reliable for business travel and this Air Book, as I like to call it, is just the thing. The battery lasts me about 6 hours with VO echoing words as I type, and most of that time being typing time not reading time.

But glad you like the air. I want to try one one day. They sound cool for quick things like note taking in class o what not.
