They are attempting to do two entirely different things. No one I know who has an iPad reads books with theirs. From what I can tell they just blow money on one fad app or another, play games while they should be working, or make obnoxious noises in the office. Meanwhile they can't edit their excel docs and frequently drop email attachments into the ether. I am getting more than a little tired of trying to pretend to be impressed by their latest cat piano app or Star Trek sound effects app. It's starting to be like that person who shows pictures of their unusually ugly child that you have to say admiring things about.
