The IPad will affect how we watch videos, it will also affect our reading patterns. One of the biggest pieces of hardware released last year was the Kindle. This was Amazon’s version of an eBook reader and it was able to get great reviews from the press. The IPad is looking to stop that train in its tracks. With the IPad, Apple has put together a lot of great eBook functions that will satisfy people who read a lot. The screen is in color and the pages of the book can become interactive. Some textbook companies were so impressed, that they decided that they are going to put their books on the IPad. We will see a lot of schools decide to use an IPad type of device for children in the upcoming years.

Between books and video, the IPad is ready to become the number one multimedia device out right now. Once the ball starts rolling, it will be hard to stop.
