[QUOTE="superbike81, post: 990498, member: 142015"] How much are you expecting to pay for a book? $10 for the hours of entertainment it will provide seems like a bargain to me, but maybe I'm not looking at it the same way you do. You don't the author deserves some money for their work? The primary books I'll be reading once I get my iPad are textbooks for college. I compared the cost of the current books I have for this school term, and the cost for the e-book equivalent, and for three books (which I bought used), I would have saved $160. I don't re-sell my books, I like to hang on to them for reference purposes in the future. Sure, I could view all these e-books on a laptop, but the battery dies after 3.5hours, not long enough to take me through a school day. So the iPad will function perfectly as an e-reader for me. So there is quite a bit of saving in college e-textbooks. [/QUOTE]
