Because the iPad is going to be available for purchase in Apple stores tomorrow, I thought that I would end the week with a collection of some of the stories and videos on this historic (is it?) event:

• "Unbox an iPad Vicariously" (video) http://www.mediabistro.com/ebooknewser/ipad/unbox_an_ipad_vicariously_157026.asp
• "Doing the iPad Math: Utility+Price+Desire" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/02/technology/personaltech/02gadget.html?ref=technology
• "iPad Review Roundup: eBook edition" http://www.mediabistro.com/ebooknewser/ipad/ipad_review_roundup_ebook_edition_157000.asp
• "Meet the First Guy in the iPad Line" (video) http://www.mediabistro.com/ebooknewser/ipad/meet_the_first_guy_in_the_ipad_line_157111.asp

Yes, there are a ton more stories out there right now about the iPad, but, I can't just read articles and watch videos on it all day! Feel free to post your faves as comments. And as always, to comment on what I've posted.

This New York Times article isn't specifically on the iPad, but I thought it was interesting in regards to all ebook readers. What difference does the cover of a book make? "In E-Book Era, You Can't Even Judge a Cover"  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/books/31covers.html?ref=books
