I think that you might be wrong on both counts, Andrew. I use my iPad for
documents as well as reading stuff on the Internet. I don't have a ready
connection at work but I am still using the iPad for all manner of useful stuff
-- database, graphics and documents.
And I understand that you can use the Kindle to browse the web; I understand
that it has a basic browser and that the 3G version will connect in a great
number of places, for no extra payment. In fact, I am trying to work out a way
to persuade my wife to buy one.
