Thanks. Are there any short threads on the Scrivener forums? Having played a bit more with the iPad I find it a great tool for mail etc and reading things and pretty lousy for doing much more than make a short note or jot down a task. I have a WP called Elements which looks very like a very simple WP from years ago. But I don't find typing enjoyable, nor did I when I hooked up my old Mac Bluetooth keyboard. I do intend to try to proof a MS on it and have a vague plan to take nothing else with me when I go to Helsinki for the book fair for four days next week.

Mind you - if it turns out I have some serious writing to do there I think that will probably change...

Bit of a bore there's no try before you buy on the thing too. Puts me off trying more apps.
