I don't have one personally, but we have an iPad1 that's sort of a family machine. I never use it. My phone is always with me, and is easier to manage than the larger screen of the iPad. All my books are stopped where I stopped them, and I do a lot of reading in Bard Mobiel, so that's important. I can't think of anything I'd use an iPad for that my iPhone can't already do faster, as it's right in my pocket. As to the keyboard, a bluetooth keyboard is a lot cheaper than an iPad and gives you even greater flexibility than an on-screen keyboard, especially as iOS now supports keyboard shortcuts. That's just me though. On Apr 10, 2014, at 10:16 PM, Howard Dupuis <[email protected]> wrote:
