For anyone who owns an iPad...
Is there a way to put your own documents on it? Can I put in a PDF I
downloaded off the web and read it for free, like via the USB or something?
Or is it more complicated than that?

Don't have a Ipad just a Iphone. Try opening an account with box.net to
upload the file and the app Stanza to download and read the doc.

I was really just asking if there was a way to do it conveniently on your
own machine, or whether Apple goes out of their way to make sure everything
has to go through their gateway. I don't have an iPad. I'm just trying to
understand what they can do and can't do easily.
Like, if I wanted to put my own music on an iPod, I know I can rip a CD into
iTunes and sync it up. I was wondering if there was something like that for
documents in the iPad.

Or, as another example, you can plug the Kindle in via USB and just drag a
PDF or whatever onto the USB disk drive it presents. I wondered if the iPad
was that easy, or whether it was a "pay apple for everything" sort of thing.

I believe you can use iTunes to put your own documents into the iBooks apps.
Though I only have a first-gen iPod touch, unable to run the 4.0 firmware,
and I have Linux, unable to run iTunes :) I never saw iBooks with my own
eyes.
