Maybe I need both the iPad and a smaller tablet.

I just can't get myself to read on my tablet. It has a gorgeous color screen, but there's no comparison between it and my Sony. The Sony feels like a book and is comfortable to hold. I can get lost in the story when I read an epaper device. The tablet never lets me forget that it's a computer, is heavier, and just isn't as comfortable on the eyes.
Now that I have it, the tablet is doing a decent job as laptop replacement. My Asus with the keyboard attached looks and acts like a netbook. It doesn't have all of the Windows programs, but I can create, open, and edit Microsoft Office compatible documents, read PDFs, check e-mail, connect to Skype etc. with it and everything but Skype came on the tablet. It's nice not having to lug the laptop with me everywhere I go.
