Sales of theApple Ipad are chugging along nicely until the next big thing/fad/pad comes along. You've got to worry when David Hockney buys one, though in his slightly grudging, satirical Yorkshire disdain he opines that it will probably be supplanted soon by a wafer-thin one, light as paper.
Apple boasts that the Ipad 'contains more books than you can read in a lifetime' even though people who buy Ipads would largely scorn the idea of spending their precious time reading books as there are so many other apps. to choose from ( games, more games, movies, flight information and so on) and may never have seen the inside of a library, let alone a book!
My Mum read more books
a day than they'll want to read
in Ipad's lifetime.
