Ahhh…cannot argue with that logic at all.
And here’s why…. Apple won’t ever be able to sell iPad in India and why it isn’t actually interested in bring it to India either.
I think I would reject it too. No eReaders for me.
It’s either a Audio Book or a Actual book.
Audiobooks are a nice way forward [ http://www.audible.com ] and the same book your dad rejected is available at a regular price of $9.10 (about Rs. 400). Not bad I think.
Not that the iPad cannot do Audiobooks. But I won’t buy a iPad for it as even the smaller ipods or a compatible MP3 player (from a very choice list) can play audiobooks.
But nothing quite like a actual hard book in your hand. I would when I am about 50+ but at the moment I just got bit by the Audiobooks bug. Nice for people on the go!
But heard that iPad is set to do much more then books and move on into eMagazines & eNewsPapers etc etc.
