I was told, though I haven't bothered to look yet, that the iPad has a back lit screen which would mean it would be like trying to read a novel on the computer screen. <br />I'm still looking into e-readers and I'll hold off a while longer before I buy one but I don't think the iPad is going to be my first choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-59336829096829570692010-01-29T14:25:20.050-05:002010-01-29T14:25:20.050-05:00Galen, it probably depends on which one you get - ...Galen, it probably depends on which one you get - 16, 32 or 64GB.<br /><br />Creative Chronicler and Old Silly - hope my little post helped.<br /><br />And Palindrome, I think it's with wings!!Alex J.

I finally broke down and got a new computer, which will take me awhile to get used to the new Windows 7, actually the time will be spent playing with all the cool new little things it does. Haven't invested in a Kindle or nook yet and will probably be like Falen and wait until the updated and cheaper version comes up of the iPad, then I might invest or not. I love the concept of it.

I'll probably wait for iPad 2.0 or a competing touchpad device, but I do want one. I was impressed the iPad supports ePUB, and disappointed it didn't support Flash. But then Steve Jobs must hate Flash because it destroyed Quicktime in the marketplace.Jim Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953679196185650753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-16208106583806560652010-01-29T09:34:56.912-05:002010-01-29T09:34:56.912-05:00I'm still waiting.
