You could be right. But then again, the iPad isn't an e-reader. Apple may try to market this ability, but it really isn't optimized for that task. (I am not talking hardware. I am talking about the severe limitations of iOS.)

Anyway, I really didn't mean to start a commotion. People are happy with their iPads and that is good for them. I have just been so incredibly frustrated with it because I realize it is more of a gimmick and toy than a device for [my] practical use. I also happened to be more tech savy than most and I know it's capabilities. It tears me up when Apple kills this device with all the unnecessary restrictions as they do. I now understand why jailbreaking community is so large.
