I have health issues that require much time in a recliner with my feet elevated and laying flat with pressure off of my lower back. My iPad is my library, my stereo, my bookstore, my game station, my phone, my news source, my connection to my support groups, my note pad, my photo album and more.
It keeps me sane and actually I use it as a distraction/pain reducer. I’ve listened to many, many audiobooks I would not have access to because i’m Confined to my home much of the time. I can darken my room, turn on a book and focusing on the book i’m distracted from my pain levels.
I have a PC that I do some applications on, but maybe 10% of what I do on the iPad.
Thanks. Sorry to hear about your health challenges. Glad your iPad helps you cope, and keeps you learning and engaged
