3 things

1, I may be about to get a free Ipad. My co-worker’s husband who works in IT has several first generation Ipads that his institution is disposing of. I hope to score one, mostly so I can start reading e-books. Which you can on Ipads, right? Apparently e-books are now outselling books on Amazon so perhaps the long touted era of e-books has finally arrived? It has been heralded virtually annually since about 1990, so surely it must be nearly here, and I will be able to join in.

2, I admire my friend’s ability to know about matters I would consider obscure. For instance, Huckle’s recent masterly summaries of Olympic competitive sailing.

3, I have finally succeeded in setting up the meeting with Pearl’s school which I have been trying to make happen since May. Hooray! Now I need to finalise my list of issues to discuss and papers to bring in.

Yep! There are a bunch of different ebook reader apps for the ipad, and they work great on a first-gen.
