My friends and I are planning our winter grownup getaway. We are avid readers, and typically lug a bunch of heavy books that we read, swap, then leave behind.

Now we all have iPads. We will be spending most of our time out in the sun, poolside at our rental house, & some time at the beach too. I am wondering what your sun/water/sand iPad experience has been, good or bad. Any luck with the anti-glare films? Are any of those silly-looking waterproof sleeves/cases worth the money? Any issues with the iPad getting uncomfortably hot in the sun? Did it stress you out, always worrying about water & sand?

Have heard that Kindles are easier to read in the sun, but we already have iPads, & are not interested in buying more devices. We also have the common sense to know that water & sand are harmful to expensive electronics!

Advice from iPad-owning FTers greatly appreciated - thanks!
