Thanks Karen! BTW, the July roundup thread you are doing has been very useful. I was able to load up the iPad with a handful of interesting books. Thanks for being so committed to this task.

You are welcome, Dixie. How do you like the ipad? I have an iphone to read various formats, but it is a bit small for long reading sessions. I played a bit with an ipad at the apple store and it seemed like it would be nice for games and single web page browsing (I often have hundreds of tabs open on my desktop).

Have you tried any writing on it (other than brief emails)?
