I don't have an iPad but instead have a Notion Ink Adam. The Adam is a 10" Android Tablet and I had planned on it being my Christmas present last Christmas. Unfortunately it didn't get release until January this year and min didn't arrive until late February. The NC was my alternate Christmas Present.
I have to agree with most of the comments about the lack of capability in the unrooted NC so mine is rooted. I have an Android smartphone which helped me adjust to the NC, once it was rooted. Like many others I don't like the way Apple does business. I always thought that 'Apple was the computer for the rest of y'all'.
Not that I have a 10" tablet, I find that the only thing it is superior for is viewing the internet and PDFs. I rarely view PDFs so that is a non-issue for me. I like the ability to do some minimal surfing from my armchair but my Tablet is usually in the other room while my NC is in my hand so I end up either using the NC or if I have to get up I use my desktop. Being retired I don't travel much & like others I find the NC easier to carry to the doctor's office. I have several eink devices but since I'm reading on the NC, it would be more trouble than it's worth to manually sync the two. Fortunately it is easier to load my current book to my Android smartphone if I inadvertently forget my NC since I put my current books on Dropbox.
I use FBreader for several reasons, one is that (if both devices are rooted) I can use FBsync to keep them synced to the current page/bookmark. Another reason I like FBreader is that I can change the brightness in FBreader without affecting the brightness in other apps, simply by sliding my finger up or down on the left side. This eases going into and out of different ambient lighting conditions.
