No PDF support – You can drag ePub files over to your iPad and they will appear in the reader. However, you will need to convert all other formats. You can convert almost any format using Calibre, though, so fret not.
iWork, Microsoft Office and email play well together – If you email yourself a Word doc, you can open it in Pages. This is excellent.
Kindle Reader works great on the iPad – As I said, you only want an ereader and already have a Kindle, you’re not missing much. But if you have used the Kindle store in the past, the new app works wonderfully.
-
Desktop document sync is a bit wonky – To get iWork documents onto your iPad you need to “import” them in iTunes. There’s no drag and drop. You can also just email them to yourself.
Screenshot works just like on the iPhone – Hit power and Home to take a quick screenshot. Useful if you want to keep a map or web page but don’t want to worry about Wi-Fi.

James Governor’s Monkchips » Reading is Writing: Illuminating The Digital Manuscript
-
I believe this is the future of digital publishing. Learn from open source. The idea of content lock down just makes no sense. Paper books don’t have DRM. You can share them, write on them, cut bits out for your scrapbook and so on. But imagine if you could do all that digitally…
Why shouldn’t books be a little more like Wikipedia and a bit less like a copy-protected CD?
It might seem like the editable, annotable, shareable book is a pirate’s charter, but publishers have little choice but to adapt.

Imagine this: you click on the heart. Then, you can zoom in to see the actual muscle fibers. Then, you can zoom in even more to see light microscopic images of the heart. Then, zoom in even more, and you’re now seeing electron microscope images. The iPad could link images and videos of gross pathology with microbiology, pathology with physiology, etc. It could truly revolutionize the medical school experience.

Apple iPad Delivers on Entertainment, but Lacks Productivity Punch
-
One app that doesn’t come preinstalled is iBooks, Apple’s one-stop shop for reading and shopping for e-books. The first time you access the App Store, you get a prompt asking whether you want to download iBooks. And of course, you can add apps from the Apple App Store.

First impressions of iPad as a productivity device | Apple – CNET News
-
I travel quite frequently, so I also see myself using the iPad in an airport, doing interviews, on an airplane, and at a local coffee shop. What’s more, I see myself being productive and getting work done.
-
It’s not just Apple that is making the iPad a productivity winner; other companies are delivering cool products, too.
TLA Systems announced the iPad version of its scientific calculator, PCalc for the iPad, on Friday. FileMaker announced that its personal database app, Bento, is also available for the iPad–and that’s just to name a few apps.
Apple will kick off the launch of the iPad with more than 1,000 apps specifically made for the iPad, in all categories.

Entelligence: the iPad as a productivity tool — Engadget
-
When Apple announced the iPad, Steve Jobs positioned it in the space directly between the laptop and phone. That greatly interests me because there are moments in my life where my phone is too small and my laptop too large. While the iPad clearly won’t replace my phone anytime soon, my question is: Can it replace my laptop on occasion and serve as a content creation as well as content consumption tool?
-
Text Entry and Editing: While most modern smartphones are designed with mobile email in mind, I find that they’re best used for email triage — they’re great to quickly check what’s important, what requires an urgent response, and what to delete.
-
Verdict? The iPad can be used for long document creation and editing with the onscreen keyboard — but if I’m doing it on a regular basis, I’d want an external keyboard with me.
-
Battery Life: While not an activity per se, one of the challenges of replacing your laptop with a phone is battery life. No phone I’ve tried could handle the extra workload I put on it with extended email and productivity use. The iPad’s battery life is excellent. I haven’t been able to test Apple’s ten hour battery life claim directly, but I had no problem getting through full days of testing and use without a need to recharge. Given my usage, I could easily see getting through a couple of days of moderate use and at least a full day of heavy use on a single charge.

That’s what surprised me the most. The iPad isn’t just for couch computing when you want to look something up on Wikipedia or send a quick email. It’s a perfectly usable business device. And the form factor just happens to work far better for cramped places like airplanes than a normal laptop. I doubt I’ll ever open a laptop on a plane again after tomorrow.
-
And then there are the apps. Some of the iPads best uses are yet to be imagined. This is certainly an amazing game device and productivity tool. And I’ll happily consume massive amounts of music and video content on the iPad. Third party apps, and there are a ton of them coming, will make this even more useful.
-
With a 3G data plan I’ll use it to read the news, look up movie times and reviews, send instant messages and emails, and lots of other things that I do with my phone. I’m not so sure I need to have the latest and greatest phone device any more, knowing that there’s an iPad within reach.
