Sooooo. The ipad came in. I’ve got a fortnight to decide if it works for me as a PDF companion. It occurs to me only now that I really need the screen to stay on most of the time. This is probably going to kill battery life.

Not much setup needed as I don’t need a bunch of apps or my entire history of whatever. I do have my research PDFs in iBooks though, so I suppose I can synch them.

Amusingly, @marcoarment put up a video about e-ink PDF reading/note taking.
