Sunday, June 20: Mouse-free

• Continued playing around with the eReaders, especially iBooks. iBooks allows you to highlight, but not annotate.
• Used notepad, email and other apps with and without the wireless keyboard. When using the wireless keyboard, you still need to tap and touch the iPad, as--of course--there is no mouse. This means the keyboard must be used within arm's distance of the iPad. As myriad reviews of the iPad have noted, it's a content consumption device, not a content-creation device. This makes me sad. Are we becoming a society that eats but doesn't cook? I will be trying to figure out all the work-arounds, so I can write and create on this device.
