And I don't know what to do with it!   What are some of the best apps?
Also, does anyone use audible.com or something like that for audiobooks.

I am really interested in getting audiobooks but don't really know how to go about it.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

I got one for Christmas. I know I am still underutilizing it, so I can't wait to see if anyone chimes in with some good tips!

So far I use iperiod (a recommendation from someone on here ) to track my months. I really like it so far. I and my dd use my ABC (the tv network) to watch some shows we miss

I have mostly free apps. But really I use it to check email and do some internet searches. For us, it's like a mini extra computer. We don't compile any docs on it (although we could if we got the apps for it) but it's nice to hand off the ipad to a kid to just do some research instead of hearing them complain about not getting a chance to get on the main computer.

We got one for Christmas here too. We use it a lot for Netflix. There are some documentaries that I would like my older ones to see and not the littles, so I send the iPad upstairs with the bigger kids so they can watch while I do another activity with the littles.

I’ve also downloaded some free times tables that the kids LOVE to do. They compete against each other for the best scores.

I know we’re still underutilizing ours as well, but everyone is enjoying it.

Mark bought one recently and I enjoyed it for awhile but we've fallen into a pattern of him on the Ipad iin his recliner and me on the sofa w/ my laptop.

I still prefer my laptop and he adores his Ipad. He's reading about 3 books at one time and he usually doesn't read much. That changed w/ the Ipad.

He also downloaded iMissal onto it.

Have fun w/ it!

Are you close to an Apple store? I bet if you brought it in at a less busy time they would help you with the basics. I have usually been very impressed with the customer service there.
