the winner has been declared. which is not to say
that all you people with a kindle must send it back. if you're happy with it, that's all that matters, really. Hey BB, IF you know the limitations of the iPad [or the Kindle for that matter] and you're happy then that's all that matters, really. My wife could probably use one to watch reruns of House, probably would make her happy - maybe I'll get her one for that purpose. You are blessed in that indeed iPad will display txt files - linebreaks hardwired to 70 chars so you won't be able to use the two-finger zoom feature. It even has an applet for editing txt files - not sure how well its going to like the linebreaks. The good news about ebook readers is that most people DO seem to like what they end up buying - perhaps I'm unusual in seeing *what could have been*. As long as they read that's a good thing -- most of the people in the Apple Store I went to clearly DON'T!
