Considering the fact that this is the first Apple product I've ever owned, I haven't any experience with iPods, phones, Macs or their aps, workings or whatever, I'm in the learning phase. Up till two days ago I didn't know I "needed" an itunes ap on my computer.That's the main reason I went balls out and bought and am going to keep the ipad instead of all the myriad of cheap and relatively "inexpensive" ereaders out there. On two of my computers I tried Calibre but it drove me batty and that goes for Adobe Digital Editions as well. I prefer quick, simple and as little amount of fluff as possible.
Two years ago it was time to simplify my things and that included my library of books. I went through all of them carefully eliminating everything I just didn't need to keep and take up physical space. The used book stores got a huge buy back from me on several occasions. I still have most reference books but the casual reading is pared down. I have lists of my favorite authors so locating one of their books for a reread is rather simple. That plus a private group who keeps a huge library electronically is really easy access for me. So, for now, learning how to use and enjoying my new ipad is a major leap in my electronic world and I must say it's a whole lot neater than a pile of books getting older and mustier by the day. Now, I will make exception for a copy of "Gone With The Wind", an original copy dating back to the year and date it was published. There's no way to electronically preserve that.
