It was aggressively marketed as an ebook reader, a product class which includes use in direct sunlight as one of its most important features.

Most official examples has it never leaving far from the coffee/kitchen table. Heck even jobs put a mock livingroom on stage. It was the sheep that kept expanding it's alleged capabilities to justify the $500.00 price tag and lack of features. Guess what, it does EXACTLY what jobs said, you use it from the sofa, how about that!
I still can't believe they put a cellphone chip and clocked it to 1Ghz without adequate cooling. We're they relying on the metal backing to passively dissipate the heat? Heatsinks work both ways, they may have accidentally turned the ipad into a solar still.

I dislike Microsoft Word. Long ago while working part time at Kinkos, I get so many problems of people bringing in their word docs and complaining that it doesn't look the same on their computer. Such expensive software that is ill suited for professional printing. I have to give them software to convert to PDF.

no it works just fine for professional printing. Problem being that people use different size screens and change settings and borders and font sizes and what such.

I'll never send anything to print in anything but pdf. The thought alone makes me shudder. But then I use InDesign and sometimes work with fonts I have to convert to outlines to print.
I'd use word if I wanted some beautiful word art ;)
