Scarily I've started reading comics again, not done this for years. I'm using the ComicZeal4 app.

It's a good question and the answer is that it works really well for that.
You don't need to use the iPad charger at all.
I have about four ordinary Apple USB chargers kicking around, they all charge it perfectly and so does the USB port on my Mac. The only kicker is that when it's plugged into the Mac it says "not charging" when the screen display is on so it only actually charges when it's not being used.
I plugged mine into my Mac Pro when it was down at 20% and went to bed. The following morning it was fully charged.

At the moment the only drawback is that the UK app store isn't fully supported - You can't get to the app store on the device itself if you're using a UK iTunes account although you can download apps on your Mac/PC and sync them to the iPad.
That and the fact that the charger comes with a USA plug.
That's it, apart from that there are no drawbacks at all. Once it's officially released in the UK the first one I mentioned will be a non-issue.

it's certainly big enough for me.
I really want that Dodo case.
Already answered this twice in this thread
(but it's a long thread so easy to miss). No, there is no educational discount on the iPad.
I've not found a good solution to that app selecting issue yet.
Actually it's better with non universal apps. It means that I only get the iPad apps on the iPad and the iPhone apps on the iPhone. Of course, charging twice is rubbish!
What's needed is something like playlists for apps so one can set them up for different devices.
iPhone OS4 has a software method of locking the screen into portrait mode.
Aye, I was thinking of the ease of splitting what syncs to each device. I don't want the same apps on my iPad as I have on the iPhone.
Originally quoted at $10 each so even if they go for maximum ripoff, they'll only be a tenner a pop. I recon £7.99 or £8.49 is more realistic.
I've removed the link, that's total guff. Nobody apart from Apple are selling these, they're not even going out to authorised dealers. Those prices are cheaper than you can buy in the USA. It's a scam, nothing else.
The UK app store now works on the iPad 
The few things I've grabbed have been fine, no flakiness at all but no ibookstore yet.
All data coming over a 3G connection counts towards your allowance, why wouldn't it be?
It's starting to appear in different countries but no sign of it on our store yet. At least, no sign of the iBooks app anyway.
