I am surprised no one mentioned iPad. I use it to read all of my books / white papers / PDFs / etc. It is the only apple product that I own, and it is the perfect digital information pad -David Burela On 25 August 2010 09:58, PENNYCUICK, Chris chris.pennycu...@deta.qld.gov.au wrote: A

Did you not see all of the posts yesterday verdict on kindle/ebook reader? What was mentioned was that purely in terms of EBook capabilities, the iPad is not as clear/sharp, nor does it have the long battery life. This is due to the iPad's other capabilities, including having a touch screen and
