Same experience as Roger and am a cradle Catholic as well. I’d like to endorse reading ebooks on the Touch. . . much more powerful and less expensive than the kindle. I looked for the kindle version of Roger’s book four days after this piece was published and didn’t find it. Does providing ebooks for the iPad not convert to an ebook on Amazon? After 20 years with Microsoft (I’m an old IBM SE) the cost of removing viruses is what drove me to Apple. . . the difference in the cost was made up in six months of having them cleaned off the Dell. The more I use the Apple, the more I appreciate it and one can actually get people for support: people with American accents rather than Indian. Pleasant people.
