I like my iPad. I don't
need it, but I like it for games, or for the last quick check of Twitter and some web pages before bed - after already turning off my desktop - or to take with me to the living room when watching TV, in case I want to check something quickly.
It was also very handy last year when travelling. I have an older netbook as well, but the iPad was much lighter to carry around, and for a week's holiday trip, I really didn't need a computer (and if I had, the netbook wouldn't have been sufficient anyway - for my work, I really need a proper desktop, with a large monitor and good keyboard).
If I absolutely must, I can also read on it (for PDFs), now that I've found a PDF reader that lets me change background colour to cream/beige/sepia. It's a lot less pleasant than reading on my Paperwhite, but as long as I don't have to do it all the time, I can cope.

They do? Each of those apps costs 8.99 € for me on the App Store. :-/ Fortunately I don't need any Office-like functionality on the tablet - for the very little I do need, I've found that Google Docs will do the job.
