Also, Mobileread is not optimized for iPad. Typing comments is klutzy if they are more than a few lines long, even with my Bluetooth keyboard.

Most glitches with apps - and there aren't many - can be resolved by a reboot. A couple required me to attach to my desktop & sync to resolve. Right now iTunes is crashing when it try to open it but I'm on the road so just have to live with it.

It's replaced my laptop, but only because I also have a desktop for more intensive work. The iPad is about 80 percent of a full scale computer. I tend to think of it as a mobile screen for my desktop. In fact, I believe that there are apps which would allow me to control my desktop from the iPad. My sense o the matter is that I own one computer system which can be accessed from multiple locations with my iPhone, iPad and desktop.

I never used to take my laptop on the road because it was a nuisance. The iPad is no trouble at all. At home, I use it in my easy chair or on the patio. Much easier than the laptop.
You make it sound mighty tempting!

Have you tried Pages, the $9.99 word-processing app from iPad App Store? I'm curious to know how that well it works.
