The iPad certainly isn't for everyone, but it looks to be a perfect fit for my uses. However, I never considered the Kindle because I can't imagine spending that much for basically a single-function device (but that's just my opinion - my mom has one and it's perfect for her). I read about 100-200 pages of journal articles for grad school a week and it's great to have them to read anywhere (I lurv Dropbox!) but, I agree that reading them on a small screen is just a pain.Plus I am really looking forward to incorporating it into my games and am even considering re-subscribing to Pathfinder for the PDFs and DMing Kingmaker just from the iPad. I have plenty of the other campaigns to run, but the idea of shiny newness beckons!Exactly, the iPad meets the needs of some consumers but not others. Personally, not only do I not need a full computer to carry around, I actually don't want a full computer to carry around between the extra maintenance and using an interface that is primarily designed for desktop computers. I know plenty of people who have netbooks and love them. Personally I can't stand netbooks. Full laptops are great (I have to struggle to get our laptop away from my wife who LOOOOVES it), but not portable enough for me going to and from work and home and school.For me the iPad looks to meet those needs great and I really hope that Apple doesn't get bit in the rear over them (although looking at the estimated sales figures so far, they seem to be doing just fine).</blockquote>
