    Could you use it portrait mode if you tip your head sideways?

    I’ve heard comments about the weight being a nuisance for extended use. How do you find the weight?

    It feels much heavier than the Kindle. You have to lock your wrist to hold or lift it with one hand. You generally rest the iPad on your torso or leg when using it so the weight is not really an issue. You notice the weight most as you pick it up.

    It is a fantastic browsing device. Text input is a bit awkward but functional. PDFs display nicely in the browser. I find it much easier to navigate through online help files or Javadoc on the iPad compared to a desktop browser.

    Yes you can turn your head to see in portrait mode or just take off the polarized sunglasses.
