Notability is a great program. You can add the whole web page, a photo, add your own drawn or typed notes and then organize it into folders or journals. I love Evernote too, but it is difficult to clip with the iPad. You have to do a screen photo by clicking the Home button and the Off button at the same time and then emailing it to your Evernote program. Notability may not be free, but worth the small investment. It will also automatically backup to Dropbox.

I use Evernote. As well. ..

I use "Pages" which is similar to word and easy to navigate. I think it was about $20. Has a nice letter writing program.

This is the reason why my husband and I both view the iPad as more of a toy than an efficient work tool. I do a lot of photo editing and need the power of Photoshop. He's a consultant and creates a folder for each client and stores all work product, email conversations, spreadsheets, presentations, etc for that client in the folder. That way everything is in one spot, easy to find. You can't do that with an iPad. There are various workarounds, but they are all clunky and inefficient. For instance, a co-worker was trying to be helpful and said we could simply use a free, online word processer, such as Google Docs. What if you need to write up a presentation while you're on a plane? What if you don't have internet or cell access where you're at? These are situations my husband runs into very often in his career.

He's now eyeballing the Surface Pro, and the kids are hovering over his shoulder, salivating because they will probably inherit the iPad. Lol.

Interesting info. I've been wondering too.

I did not realize so many others shared this problem. I truly expected there to be one tried and true, great program available. I, too, find the iPad lacking in several ways...even if I am addicted to it. Mine has a cellular feature, so I have Internet access virtually anywhere (that has AT&T phone service!), but even for that, one must choose between AT&T or Verizon when buying the iPad itself. It's a love/hate relationship!

I do the same thing!

I have Dropbox (it's free) on my ipad & pc, and a laptop. anything I D/L goes to dropbox in the ipad, and syncs with my pc & transfers there. I can D/L docs, emb designs, etc and any photos I make with ipad also transfer to pc. Automatically. I can then pull from Dropbox on pc and sort into files to store where I wish. I love it! 2 GB, and you can buy more if needed. Always stored in the cloud acct so if you crash---voila!
BTW, I'm in TN--how can you be in TN, E.GA, and FL at the same time.

I just got an iPad Air for Christmas. I'm interested in responses, too. I want to take free lessons, too.

I have 2 Ipads. One is personal....one is work-issued. It is my office in every sense of the word. No more paper files at all! There are so many apps that can do pretty much whatever one wants it to do. My work Ipad uses Bluetooth for my order taking scanner. I use Excel (numbers is the program) PDF IT ALL, Simple Resizer to resize photos for posting to QB, Scanner app., etc. I can attach multiple photos to an email thanks to the IOS 7.0.4 upgrade...i take the minutes via Ipad then I just "send" them to the Board. Screen shots, etc. I RARELY use my laptop....I don't need it these days. I sync my apps between my two Ipads and my Iphone. Calendars, Dropbox, and on and on.....
