Diane, Take a look at PhotoRAW. Raw image processing on the iPad. I wouldn't say its in the league of Lightroom, Camera Raw or RPP, but it's pretty good.... I've found I can do everything I do with Laptop, even PC, except Raw processing ...
Well, yes, I did the same thing already. I had an iPad 1 for a couple of months after they came out, had the same typing issues. So I have a MacBook Air 11" as well.
Whether I get a Fire or an iPad, I won't be using it for emails or anything that involves more than just very minimal typing. It'll be for reading, movies/TV, etc.
Whatever works for your needs and use is what's best.I know this isn't the spirit of your question, but I'll weight in regardless .
I actually just sold my iPad and got a MacBook Air 11" instead. The iPad was simply awesome for most read-only things. But for me, when it didn't work for my needs it was really irritating. For one thing, I just never got good at typing on it. When I'm on the web, I type a lot (for example, on this forum, flickr, etc.). Entering and editing text was a nightmare for me: tons of typos, then fixing them was hard. Getting the caret to the right place, and selecting text was a big PITA most of the time. ...
Well, that's what I'm trying to determine but it looks like I may need to buy one of each to come up with the answer.Whatever works for your needs and use is what's best.
I'm right with you TerryI have a slightly different take. I have both a Kindle and an iPad. I prefer reading on the Kindle because it has limited functionality and I tend to then read a book for a more extended period of time (and not be quite so ADD where I constantly flip back to browse the web and the various photo forums). I do like reading on eInk but I don't like having to have a light on. The Kindle is better if you are out at a pool etc. The Kindle is more comfortable to hold and read with but that depends on how you sit and like to read.
