I got one recently & I love it. I need to learn some more of the neat stuff I could be doing with it though! My favorite app so far is called Overdrive. You can use it to check ebooks out of your library. You need a library card, which I have. I've been doing all kinds of reading on my iPad for free! I also like how you can take a screenshot of something (quilt, recipe, etc) & save it. I am on it right now & love the portability. I never had a laptop because after the kids got theirs I had the desktop to myself. When I got an iPhone I became more comfortable with using apple products. I am with adnil458, I need to get back to the apple store & take a class.
