Then you have found your PERFECT reading device. However, you could have bought an old Fujitsu tablet off Ebay with those same features for $100 (with a free bumper case). Plus you could annotate and sync your PDF’s along with many other things your iPad can’t handled. 
Pull the wool over your own eyes - the iPad is not a reader. |
Ogg, I sugest that you actually experience using an Ipad before posting such eroneous comments.
Screen glare: Yes you cant read the Ipad in direct sunlight, but her in Aus we are discouragedfrom spending toomuch time in direct sunlight, rather bad for the skin you see.
Recharge times: My Ipad simply gets attached to a charger while I am working and is ready when I need it. No issue.
Greasy Finger Prints: Yep, this is an issue, but easily resolved with a wipe of a micro fibre cloth.
Single source of e-books: This is simply not true, I purchase from Amazon (kindle),Kobo, Ibooks and smash words. For physical books, I need to drive 25 minutes and within that radius I have a choice of two stores, if I drive a little further I can access a third.
PDF's: The Ipad handles these subperbly, and they can be annotated using the Ianotate app.
