Sorry Kat, couldn't be sure from your first post about this.
I haven't run into this with either of our iPads, so I don't have anything beyond the basics to offer

I was reading a novel on the Kindle iPad app. Some sections were underlined, with a count of users who had highlighted that section shown. I didn't see any notes. It is possible to turn off the display of the highlights. I did because I found it distracting.
Creepy, particulary in light of
BBC News - Google admits wi-fi data collection blunder

I just realized that the Kindle application allows me to download and read purchased books on up to 5 devices. What is more, it remembers where you left off no matter which device you are on, so if I get stuck waiting somewhere, I can just pull out my iPhone, open the Kindle application, and continue reading the novel that I was reading on my iPad.
Way cool.
The only downsides of the Kindle application are that it lacks the search and dictionary feature.

Is the Kindle allowed to read EPUB format yet?
That is an attribute of the iPad which I have already used. It was one of the reasons I bought an iPad instead of the Kindle DX.
That would, imo, go a long way towards making the Kindle more competitive.
I love the idea of it remembering where you are in each book regardless of which device you are using. Haven't checked that out with the iBook app for the iphone/iPad, will have to check that out

Just ran across this story:
The Scavenger : Apple won't take iPad buyer's cash
From the looks of the last comment Apple came to their senses but the policy seems to me to be really stupid.

I can see why Apple has the policy - everything that i have purchased at the Apple store recently was purchased from a roving clerk that swipes my credit card through a card reader attached to an iphone. I guess they can increase sales by making all employees able to ring up sales from anywhere in the store . But they should still have a "cash register" somewhere for cash sales

Interesting, I knew about the ability to check out with any apple store rep (which I love) but thought you could go to the cash register as well if you wanted the inconvenience.

Last week I watched my DIL and Son with their Iphones. I have thought about it or the Ipad. I came across this today.
My iPad tryst: I craved, I caved, I gave up - Wireless- msnbc.com
I think I am going to wait a while.

I have had my iPad for about 1.5 months now. I love it, love it, love it. I use it so much that I barely sit in front of my desktop computer anymore. YMMV.

I wonder if they would accept gold. It's the only real money, anyway. Isn't it?

The only time I sit in front of my desktop is when I am programming apps for my iPad

I like that they don't give me a receipt but email it to me. Once less piece of paper for me to throw out, but it enables me to have a record of my purchase.
Does anyone actually use cash anymore?
