According to a survey of UK iPad owners put forth by Cooper Murphy Webb, people who own iPads are now using them as their preferred device for reading newspapers, magazines and books. Of the 1,034 iPad owners polled via telephone between July 28th and August 10th, 43% use the iPad for more than 10 hours per week, with most of those usage hours taking place in home.

While the iPad dominates among users  for text based activities like perusing magazines and books, the laptop still holds strong  as a primary entertainment device — perhaps due to the iPad’s lack of Flash support. I know that I have been discouraged from readily picking up an iPad to watch online video from the Pavlovian effect of those disappointing little blue legos.

Giving ammunition to the “iPad Will Save Reading” camp, 31% of iPad users prefer their iPad to their laptop, mobile phone, e-reader and print media for reading newspapers and magazines, perhaps due to the innovative presentation of news put forward by aggregator iPad apps like Flipboard and Pulse.

And moreover 41% of iPad owners prefer the iPad for reading books, which bodes well for iPad apps like iBooks, Kindle for iPad, and  Barnes and Noble.

As a side note to and probably as a byproduct of text consumption, the iPad is also preferred for Internet browsing among UK owners at 38% and gaming at 37% respectively.

Well , reading on ipad is really an enjoyment in daily life ,however , it is not so lucky for streaming audio and video to ipad,comparing to reading.Image this scenario,you were a movie fan , you got a lot of video on computer , one day you bought a ipad just for curiosity,and you want to stream newest movie Iron Man 2 to ipad .and unfortunately ,it is in DVD or avi format ,which are not supported by ipad according apple official specification.What’s gone you do ? spend a bunch of money to buy it in itunes again ? oops , you have just bought it from Netfix .Or just give it up for God sake?  How will you be able to enjoy them then on your tablet? Do you just call it a loss and chalk it up to laziness, or do you have another option? Luckily, you can access all of those media files from your computer with the iPad, via the iPad video converter application.

iPad video converter is an app that takes all the dirty work out of the enjoyment of media files that exist on your laptop or computer.It helps you convert dvd to ipad or convert video to ipad. Depending on your personal library, the process of conversion and transfer to the iPad could be very easy and fast. I don’t know about you, but when I want to watch a bunch of movies from my favorite actors or watch a particular flick, I want to do it right then and there. Waiting for a long time is not an option. iPad video converter seems to be tailor made for us folks that value simplicity and their time.

Okay, so all of this sounds great. How do you get it to work, and is it complicated? Not at all. First, you will want to download the iPad video converter app on your computer. Once that is complete, you need to install the app on you computer. When installations is finished, launch  the app you just installed, select the file your want to convert, set the out put format for your file ,usually it MP4 format, start the conversion, transfer it to iTunes after it is done, you will be able to see your computer’s shared data via the iPad.

So if you want to read newspaper or book on some portable device, ipad is a good candidate .But if you want to experience the happiness of  digital  life , i am dare to say ipad is not a good option.Thinks a while before buying.
