A list of essential iPad apps that doesn’t list AIR DISPLAY is like pot without munchies. Which the author must have been smoking.
Air Display makes an iPad a wireless second (or third or fourth) monitor for a computer. It’s from the company that made Air Sharing HD. I’m using it right now.
And seriously, Kindle but not iBooks? Come on.

Kindle has the content and is not locked to the iPad. Kindle books run on Windows, Mac, iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Android. Search the iBooks store for 10 titles and then the Kindle most will be on Kindle- not many on iBooks.
Don’t be a fanboi.
