What's On Your iPad?

Albert and I wanted to be able to read on the trip but not carry heavy books or search in a new city for a bookstore that probably had a limited number of books in English to select from while traveling in Asia.

The iPad had been announced to the public and its release date was exactly when we'd embark on our trip. We discussed the various eReaders and chose the iPad because of its features beyond reading.

Collectively, we read 141 books during thirteen months of travel; the books that were our favorites are underlined.
