I've had the iPad only for one day and still learning about it. I haven't loaded my collection yet as I still have the 150 p. UserManual to read [g].

When browsing, or book reading, I hold it like a book. It's book-size: 7.5 x 9.5 inches. To use the keyboard on screen, you need to put it on a table or on a stable lap. It only weighs 1.5 pounds.

The color display is absolutely amazing. I see detail on it like I see on a 42" HD television. This is the only touch-sensitive screen that I've used that really works. The surface is said to be "oleophobic", which means it is afraid of fat. It's supposed to make it less subject to fingerprints. They still show if you reflect light on the surface, but they wipe off surprisingly easily.
