On jailbroken models, this can also be used to load/offload movies, which would help with the memory issue.

Since there is no option to connect the iPad via a wire connection, you need to do some research before booking hotels.
You can get a small travel router for this.

- A bit heavy to read for hours since it does weigh 1.5 lbs. I needed to support my arms a bit or shift it between hands often.
A friend got a plastic decorative plate stand for viewing movies on his at home; it was about $3 and very light - I'm not sure if the angle is any use for reading or movie watching in coach, though.

Also, its hard to find a place to put the ipad to watch a movie during meals.
I've also been curious when someone is going to build a stand which will hang it off the seatback in front of you - probably better for movie-watching than reading, though.
