I think the DR1000 serves a different purpose. If you think of the ipad as a large iTouch it has a lot going for it. However marking up, annotating and working on large pd files is not one of them. I think for general reading on a short time basis the ipad would do well and it has significant advantages in the web browsing and connectivity areas. It is not primarily designed, IMO for reading. The DR series do reading well and the DR with its annotation ability and pdf features work well for the office environment.
Physically they are both of a similar size.
