Then I realized, I read a computer screen in the morning reading the Daily News with my coffee and breakfast online. I look at a computer screen all day at work. I then spend an hour or 2 at night on the web. My eyes have never been affected. However when I read my ebook reader at night with a booklight, my eyes do grow a little tired reading the dimmer areas on the bottom of the page. So that was the first part.

After quite a bit of help from some great members here....I freed my books. So it looks like I CAN port them over to the iPad. On top of that, according to some recent articles I've been reading, I will be able to download Kindle and B&N books on it on top of the iBookstore. This opens it up wide for me as if a book isnt available on one, it should be available on another.

Then of course the other features.....Web, video, music, email, word processing, etc.

I'm sold. Now just determining if I should get the 32 or 64 With 64 I can backup AND play all of my photos, video, music, and now book files.....hmmmmm
great justification,
I would recommend the 64GB since you will soon get your memory
full with video n photos n music.
