I didn't expect to enjoy my gaming PDFs on the iPad (I just wanted a netbook & E Reader in one), but GoodReader does an amazing job.Cross Planeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258583245202567276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-11421035792742168072010-04-21T12:28:31.854-05:002010-04-21T12:28:31.854-05:00I think I need to play with it some more.

I've been holding out for a digital e-reader until apple did something.<br />I'm super happy with ibook and good reader for my PDFs - I have all the Pathfinder materials in the palm of my hand. As a bonus - I downloaded a couple of games and some productivity stuff. For in game I picked up DMs Tracker, Quick roll and Dicenomicon. I am looking forward to iPad versions of one or more of these.<br /><br />I have heard of issues with the wi-fi but mine synced up right away. It's a little weird loading PDFs since it doesn't operate like a hard drive but, I have bookmarks now and it's a 3 minute operation now.<br /><br />What can't you do with it that you were hoping to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-10159073265342466932010-04-20T22:03:54.111-05:002010-04-20T22:03:54.111-05:00iPad was a great idea that is (sadly) hampered by ...iPad was a great idea that is (sadly) hampered by the closed Apple Environment. In an effort to provide user experience it is more a media consumption device than a media creation device. I'm resting my hopes and dreams on the HP slate to allow me the ability to do all the things I want.
