I don't think an Airport Express would have helped either, although I didn't have one with me to try.
But even if I could rely on the iPad for everything else, I'd still use the Kindle for reading.
Yes, I have seen that a couple times. I used to carry the iPad AND a laptop, and there would be times the laptop would connect and the iPad would not.
The bigger problem, in my experience, are places that only have wired Internet access. I may have to buy a travel router to take care of that.
