• Great book reader
• Better than netbook or laptop for travel or in the field without a desk
• Touch keyboard works good, but may want to connect wireless keyboard for extended work
• Storage space isn’t much of an issue with streaming including Netflix
• iWork Pages works well for writers

I purchased the iPad primarily as a reader and doing light work. This is the first time I’ve purchased a first generation device. I usually wait, but the iPad is nearly the computing device I’ve been dreaming about for years. This is the first step towards truly user friendly computing. It’s also nice to carry Steven King’s Under the Dome with me to work. The physical book is too large to carry on my bicycle.
