IPAD MANIA!!!!

Well I have just about decided on an IPAD. I have done my due diligence and checked out the Nook, the Kindle and the IPAD. My friends love their Kindle but they have had them since they came out. The Nook seems good too but the IPAD is just so impressive and can do so much (and the screen is so large - bonus!!)

I was in the Apple store in NYC again last night and the place was packed and people were buying. It was like they had discounted everything after Christmas. Sales of the IPAD significantly outpaced expectation this holiday season and seemed to be the #1 item on many people's Christmas list. My daughter, Alexa, is one a a number of stalwarts who love the feel and the experience of reading a real book. She has her own library of her favorites which at last count was well over 2oo books including the classics. Unlike her Mom, she says that she will
never go virtual when it came to books.
