As a student, the iPad has changed my life. I no longer need to purchase giant 3 ½ pound tombs that cause back and shoulder pain. I just get them for my iPad and they're all on one lightweight device.
It just renders text books so perfectly. I have a smart phone, but there's no replacement for that big, 9.7 inch screen. It makes web pages and PDFs so pleasurable to read.
I think the sales have slowed because the upgrade cycle for tablets is similar to the upgrade cycle for computers. I've had my iPad with retina display for over 2 years and, unless it breaks, I don't see a reason to get a new one.
One side effect of having an iPad is that it has allowed me to have a clunkier PC life. I have a workstation set up with a 15inch MacBook, a second monitor, mount, usb hub, keyboard, mouse and the works. I no longer have to worry about its portability because I have my tablet.
