I've used my iPad for school. Fortunately, my school uses VitalSource Bookshelf for our e-textbooks and that has an iPad app. That thing has been a lifesaver for me more than once. I also have Pages on it, and have emailed files back and forth from the iPad to my PC and been able to open/use them. Here's a scenario I've done:
Chris and I decide to take off to Naperville on a Saturday afternoon, but I have a paper to research and write. What to do? Email the instructor-supplied PDF with the case file to the iPad (I set up a gmail acct. specifically for the iPad just for this purpose). Use the iPad to read the case PDF, and use Pages to type up my notes / research (using Safari, of course), while we're on the interstate. An hour and change travel each way gives me some good uninterrupted reading/research time. Amazingly enough, I find it much easier to type on the iPad than I did on my netbook that had a full physical keyboard....no idea on that one but I'm relieved that it's that way.
