I love my iPad. I am not a techno at all, however with this gadget I have been able to catch up with the rest of the world. I use it at least 3 times a day. Although still in love with the feel of a book I have kindle on mine so can take as many books with me when I travel, if I am not sleeping can read or check with you all with out putting on the light and disturbing DH. I store my photos on it and can check my emails quickly. I have 3 weather apps on it as I am a farmer and find them useful. DH purchased it for me as my birthday present last year and I still tell him how great it is.
