This is the best argument I've read for why the iPad simply can't succeed as (and wasn't designed to be) a consumption-only device. Indeed, content that exists only as an update of the "multimedia book" CD-ROM is going to face the same problems now as it did then. The sustainable successes on the iPad will be apps that enable users to organize, create, record, learn, practice, share, and play.
