How much memory do I need? 16gb or 32gb?

If I will be using my iPad primarily for iBooks (a couple hundred ibooks) and iWork documents (maybe 100 different documents), how much memory will I need?

Right now, I have about 7gb worth of music, photos, and apps on my iPhone.

Also, if I subscribe to video podcasts, will that take a lot of memory as well?

Can I get by with a 16gb?

iPad, Other OS

KC eh? I live near the area :P anyway, I would recommend 16GB. I'm debating as well but I'm going to get the 32GB version as I plan to watch movies/TV shows on mine. They do take up some space. I've been getting by on my iPhone 3G which has 8GB but now I wish I had more... I think this would be the case for me and the iPad as well so I'm getting 32GB.

As for you if you're not planning on watching movies or tv shows (not using Netflix) then I suggest 16GB.

The iPhone OS uses a little less than 2GB so you'll havel ike 14GB to play with.

but if you can spare the extra $100 I'd get 32GB.

It's not so much how much memory do you need as how often are you willing to re-sync?

16GB means you might have to reshuffle video more frequently--make sure you remove stuff once you watched it, pay more attention to what's on there, etc. If you do that anyhow, then 16GB is probably fine--if you want to be able to ignore it and yet be assured there will always be several choices of fresh video to watch, 32GB will be safer.
