How are Ipad users finding Ipad for reading books, novels, etc.

Hi - I have not purchased an iPad yet, but was wondering what user's experiences have been so far with reading books - i.e. spending a lot of time reading on the device. I know some say reading on a LED backlit screen is harsh on the eyes and causes strain over time. I have a MacBook Pro and have not had this problem reading on my notebook, but then again, I have never read an entire novel on my notebook.
Just curious about user experiences.
Thanks

3 ipad apps for reading and acquiring books-iBooks, kindle and kobo.
I am preferring iBooks and kobo because you do not leave the app to shop for books.
I have read 1 whole novel and assorted bits of others.
No eye strain. Those complaining they are to frail to hold 1.5 lbs for an extended time need to learn to cradle the ipad on their forearm and join a gym
if the content you are reading is any good-you quickly forget about the device. It gets out of the way of the content and you because of the simplicity of the interface.

How do I change Syncing settings for Address Book, iCal, etc?

I remember when I setup my operating system, it asked what percent of changes
to Address Book, iCal, etc. I wanted to set between my computers, before I was notified. I think the default was 5%. But I'd like to change that setting. Does anyone know where I can find that?
Thanks,
Paul

Barney-15E,
Thanks that's it.
I always forget to open iSync.
I tried looking in the MobileMe.
Thanks,

Hello ,

please help me

it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

If you're running Windows, close iTunes, right-click on the iTunes icon and choose Run as Administrator, then try syncing again.

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Can anyone explain the advantage of iPod vs iPad over Kobo Vox for reading iBooks?

Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.

What ipad model is better for downloading books?

Hello, i want to buy an Ipad, but not 100% sure what ipad model is better for downloading books. i travel a lot and often find myself in the places where wi-fi is not reliable. Any tips are most welcome!

iPad Mini. Both iPads are fine for books, but the Mini is even more portable, and the page size is ideal of reading books. I've had both; the Mini is better, for me. If you have the chance, visit your local Apple Store and try out the units on display. Then, you can determine which is right for you.
If you read lots of emagazines, give the iPad Air a chance. The Air has a larger screen, and that means things will be less cramped. Apps like Flipboard perform well on both devices, but the Air is roomier and easier to navigate.

HT1725 I downloaded 2 apps to my iphone, but neither one will work, they are apps that find satillite for your rv

I downloaded 2 apps to my iphone, but neither one will work, they are app to find sateillites for directv when we are traveling in our rv. They areSAToolzdtv and dishformyrv /find satellite.

If you open the Kindle app on your iPad, then in the bottom right-corner should be an 'i'' button - touch that and you should then get a pop-up with the top option being Settings, which should then allow you to link it to your Amazon account and let you download any kindle books that you've already bought.
Edit : corrected above to 'bottom right-corner'
There is also help for the app, including 'Managing Registration', on Amazon's website :

I am trying to sync photograpghs from my PC to my ipad but it is saying ITunes cannot sync apps to the ipad "user's ipad" because the apps installed on the ipad could not be determined. I have no idea what that means. Can anyone help?

I'm sorry about your loss.
Are you trying to recover data from this iPad, or to set it up as new (erase everything on it, and simply use the iPad as if it were brand new as your new iPad)?
If the latter, you can place the iPad into recovery mode as shown here. You may have to try this several times:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

How a administrator user is different from read-write user in Aruba Central?

Q: How a administrator user is different from read-write user in Aruba Central?
A: Aruba Central allows administrator to create multiple user of different access levels to help manage the system. This access levels include:
read only
read/write
guest operator
NOTE: These access levels can be imposed on a specific "ap group" or a set of "ap groups" or all of them.
Therefore looking at the roles, many of the aruba central customers, had a question of how a administrator user is different from read-write user.
Administrator is the only user who can move access points between groups. Read/Write user Do Not Have Permission to execute this action.

Hi,
I've managed to get what I needed by using a shift register + event structure as suggested by Adnan. However, I face another problem after implementing SR+event. I've attached two files, first the original program and second the updated program using SR + event. (it's only the jpg file as I've forgotten to save the labview program, will upload the program by tomorrow.
In the original program, I have an elapsed time that is able to run continuously when I run the program. In the updated program, my elapsed time don't seem to run continuously when I run the program (as shown by elapsed time indicator). I need the elapsed time to run continuously as a input to calculate my motor profile.
I suppose this is caused by the introduction of the event structure, will adding a case structure to wrap the event structure solve the problem or is there another way to get pass this. Appreciate if someone could drop me a pointer or two.
Thanks
