Thanks. It sounds like I'm on the right track.
Regarding reading, thanks for the advice but I'm actually far more hard-core than was apparent from my last post when it comes to ereading. I also wasn't completely accurate regarding my intentions.
I've been reading ebooks quite extensively since 1999 when I got my first Palm V and have read on various PDAs and smart phones ever since. If my eyes and brain can tolerate those devices then they can tolerate pretty much anything. My inaccuracy was that although I am converting these books for the iPad it's only to play around and test whether it works in preparation for my next real reading device which will be, if all the rumours are true, the next generation iPhone; I'm sure that, compared to some of the other devices that I've used successfully in the past, that will be just fine.
