Re: Members with iPads...
I bought one thinking it would be a good netbook/small laptop replacement while traveling - it's definitely not. It is great for reading magazines, minimal web surfing (although the lack of flash, which I thought would be a minor thing, turns out to be a major irritation). I have a couple mando apps, most of which are cute but not hugely useful. I've downloaded but not really used the Tabledit viewer.
As far as books on the Kindle, the regular Kindles (haven't used a Fire, so I don't know about those) do have a weakness when it comes to graphic-heavy texts/books. The eink isn't really a dynamic display and you can't resize on the fly. The ipad does allow you to scale images, which is sort of helpful, depending on how the images have been formatted. I've seen several books where scaling up a low res image just gets you fuzzy dots instead of clarity. Love my Kindle, though, it allows me to carry a small, light, paperback sized device with access to thousands of books. The ipad is big and heavy by comparison.
