(EK) iPad
I've been back and forth about getting an iPad for months now and thought I'd put the question to you guys on whether or not it is worth a purchase, assuming you use one at work. (I plan on using it mostly for Flight Deck related apps and as a PDF reader for our manuals, OFP's, Study Guide, expanded QRH, and of course... porn.)
I see many of our comrades who have them and seem pretty happy with the use they get out of it. The question is, at the end of the day, is this a $550 PDF reader or does its true value lie in the other things I could use it for (pictures, video, newspaper, movies et al) and is there a day to day use for all of the other bells and whistles on this device? If the answer ends up being, "This is a $550 PDF reader." Is it still worth a buy or should I just stick to using our slow EFBs.
