What site can I find free ebook and free back issue of magazines for iPad , thanks!?
Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page – Thousands and thousands of free public domain ebooks.
Back issues of magazines, though, I think you may have a hard time finding. They are generally not in the public domain, so they are not available for free unless the publisher wants them to be.

Would you take a new free iPad or feed an african kid for 2 days?
You win a competition in a magazine, the prize is that you can either get a brand new iPad or you can feed a African kid 6 meals.
Explain your answer. Best answer will be chosen 10 easy points for someone.
- I could lie and give the cool answer, but we all know that everytime we choose to buy an item like an Ipad, cell phone, or other non-essential purchase (most everything, actually), we are making the decision for the item. So, like I do everyday (right or wrong), I’d take the Ipad. And so would every other person answering this question from their personal computer with a value that would feed 6 meals to an entire African villiage.
What devices are good for e-magazines other than the ipad?
Not the ipads biggest fan!
But like the concept of on demand magazines!
Thx in Advance!
