I would like to have both but I'm not sure if it's sensible or just excessive. Would love to hear people's thoughts. Do you have both or one and nmot the other?

I have both. They are not interchangeable for me. Ipad is a toy, sofa surfing, online sofa banking, shopping and newspapers but I would read books on it only if nothing else was available. I have a Cybook Opus which is a feisty little basic machine (my little R2D2) and just since July 8th I have a new Kindle. Ereader equals book to me and ipad equals computer. When I go to bed I take Opus and I have exactly the same feeling I used to have when stretching with a book in hand. Relaxation and reading. Ipad will never compete with this with "all that jazz". Is helpful though to type this post, nonetheless. To me having both is sensible and not at all excessive. Excessive was the Kindle (a bit) but now I have epub and mobi world available with no hassle plus 3G and free internet if necessary when I travel back to my country (or so I justify the inner gadget geek
)
