Nearing the end of 'Alice in Wonderland' book on iPad, my youngest daughter proclaimed that she no longer wants 'real books' at bedtime.

Soosiz HD for iPad is pretty fun. Got the lite version, played it. It was enough to not have to pay for it though. Very SMB-esque.

That was weird. I just fell asleep on the couch while reading an eBook. That never happens.
I have decided the soft landscape keyboard on the iPad is awesome. I can totally jam on it. Not as much as a real kbd but damn close!
