Good Morning
I would like to tell you that while I was in Mexico I was taking photographs 100% of the time. But truth is I could be found on occasion enjoying my killer view of the Gulf of Mexico with my Kindle and a strong cup of coffee. I’m really starting to fall in love with my Kindle. The device is crazy slick. I’m not sure why I waited so long to get one, but I really enjoyed reading all my newspapers, books and even my own blog while abroad. I even created a protective photo skin for it using Uniqueskin.com… so you know it’s true love. The really nice thing about an e-reader is it’s small and portable. It was very convenient having some of my favorite e-books available for reference without having to haul around my bulky laptop. It’s always nice to have access to such titles as “The essential guide to Portrait Photography,”by DPS “Understanding Post Processing” by Mitchell Kanashkevich, “Digital Photography Book” by Scott Kelby, plus all of David duChemin’s e-books with just the click of a button. Tomorrow I’m hoping to have a few photos of some crazy little spider monkeys that I photographed on a Mayan Reserve so stayed tuned.

My kindle has made a huge difference in how I prepare for trips. I generally read 2 to 3 books over even a short trip. Now I don't have to pack them. More importantly, I just read MORE of everything. It's true love
Now, to see what Apple has in mind…
Yeah, I'm curious what Apple has coming out tomorrow.

Now that the Apple iPad has been announced at a price that is the same as the Kindle, could you see yourself replacing the Kindle (and possibly a laptop) on your next trip? You would be able to take one device to read, surf the net, check email, upload your photos (it has a SC card camera kit accessory), check flight schedules etc. I know it does not have an e-ink screen but we just won't know what the IPS display is like until we have one in hand.
Not sure. The iPad doesn't have any USB ports and I need to be able to run Lightroom so probably not a laptop replacement but maybe an e-reader replacement down the road.
In that case, you need a laptop. I don't think the iPad is meant as a laptop replacement. I think is is aimed at those who need a lightweight computing device that does 80% of what most people (mostly non-geeks) currently do (email, calendar, shop, social media).
Wow man, this is really helpful information, thankyou.
