If that's what you want to do, why in the world would I try to dissuade you? Enjoy your IPad.
It's not what I WANT to do. It's a question I was pondering. And after much thought (and given the exchanges here) I've personally decided against. I think the iPAD is a massive con. It's basically a laptop with the keyboard sawn off. A netbook can do the same and more. As it happens I went ahead and bought a second DX the (DXG). I'm selling my old DX and hoping Amazon come out with a TOC feature and better zooming. That would do me fine.

On another note, the iPad is scary. I can see it producing extremely high doses of UNhealthy addiction. In contrast, addiction to ebooks on the Kindle strikes me as being a healthy addiction.
