cheryl, agree. I use it for converting my meds books so i can use them on the ipad at school. Now i am a lazy girl so usually if I am in the car i just place Pad on the dash, and go. and have it split into different emails. It is not advanced, it works, i use all the Ipads native progrrams, and right now where i am in my life it is a matter of holding the geek-work on a bare minimum.
