I was given my Ipad as a present a few months ago and initially iw asnt able to get used to it, however after a month it really started to make sense having a all in one system i could use to browse the internet and store my personal reading material on. Once i was used to reading from the screen apposed to froma page the Ipad really came into its own being able to store hundreds of my favorite books on but being smaller in size than just a single 1000 page book.
My next issue was where to find books to put on my ipad, after speaking with a younger nephew i discovered a service called SCRIBD, this is a site which is a catalog of books, white papers, news and comics all in one place and totally free to use, after completing the registration. I found it very easy to search and download titles. However i did find some titles particularly well know books and novels would contain viruses and spyware which just clogged up my ipad. The service is great and has some real gems to find if you have the time.
I also use a service called Ipad Ebooks, This site offers users access to a massive library of ebooks over 40,000 i believe and basically allows subscribers to browse and download every title in the library. I found brand new best sellers as well as classic novels i havent read for years all available to download straight onto my ipad. The benifits are unrivaled even by scribd as all the books are in a ebook format and compatible with all ereaders including the nook, kindle, ipad and galaxy tablets. I cant say how much i have saved but jsut on a basic alculation of $10 per ebook and downloading 100 it makes the service well worth while.
I also search for authors own websites where many authors have their works to dowload free of charge and sometime newer works that are not yet released.
After going from paperback books to an ipad i cant recommend the ipad to enough people, it really is a great gadget and in my opinion a great way to help save the planet and trees. I hope you find my review of the ipad useful and the use of the two sites i use most for downloading content as useful as me,
Good luck.
