I cannot understand the hype. My wife and I have Kindles. We buy a book online and by the time we go to church in the AM the book is there. It is easy to read. I have gotten books free and some for 88 cents. When I was younger, I probably would have jumped at the temptation. I suspect some young bright techie (I mean it respectfully) will answer and make me to look like what I am - a 67 grandfather, non tech savy who loves to read.

Can you watch a movie on your Kindle? Can you type a term paper on your Kindle? Can you browse FreeRepublic on your Kindle? Can you answer this reply on your Kindle? Can you read National Geographic and look at the pictures in full color on your Kindle?

If I were writing something while I am away from home, using an iPad, how would I save what I had written? I am not talking about correspondence but rather research, personal writing, etc.

In other words, what kind of backup could I have for what I had done, before I were to travel back home?

I “think” I want an iPad, but this is important: backing up work on it.
