It's probably for the best - I wonder how many would go 'missing'?

Possibly because it did not have the words Apple iPad on it?

I would always prefer a proper textbook over an electronic one. One reason is that with a paper book that you have read a lot you begin to learn where things are in the book and can flick to them quickly. i.e. a particular bit of sample code or something. If it isn't indexed then you're stuck flicking through page after page on a kindle. |

if you had all your textbooks on one device, you couldnt have multiple ones open at the same time :/ but you would have a search function, thatd be convenient

Yes books can have that advantage, though it depends what you need. Some subjects are more conducive to eBook layout. I think that the iPad will make a great way to keep manuals. Especially with a dock and in colour, they will be great for software manuals. |
