Review of the IPad

I am an avid reader. It is one of my favorite things to do so I figured I would buy a Kindle. But then the Ipad came out. After talking to one of my co-workers who could not say anything bad about it, Tony and I decided to check it out. It's freaking awesome. Yesterday, Tony bought me an Ipad for a really early birthday present. We both were too excited to wait for my birthday.

Of course I had to play with it for hours. I could sit comfortably in our recliner and surf the read and play computer games if I so choose. I even downloaded Pride and Prejudice for free as Amazon offers a lot of free classics. I'm making myself read some of the books that I should have read a long time ago.

Anyways, Tony had an Iphone and I hate the touch screen. I couldn't text on it easily and I felt frustrated that I would never "touch" it right to get it to work properly. That was one of the reasons I was wondering if I would even like the Ipad but the touch screen on it is amazing. Very easy to use and you have the option of buying a keyboard and a mouse if you get desperate. The screen is amazing. Hardly any glare and you can read with it in the dark. No more keeping each other awake with our nightlights if we want to read. Purchasing books is not that expensive. In fact, I was impressed by the array of free classics that were available and book prices are well priced. Definitely cheaper than buying a hardcover book from even a place like Walmart. The apps and games are also well priced. Very affordable. I haven't downloaded pictures onto it yet but the graphics on it are amazing and I've seen pics downloaded on the Ipads at the store.

I haven't really found anything I don't like about it yet although the internet can be a little slow on it. It's still fairly speedy and I have no other complaints.
