    Ron, you can get by with 16GB if you don't load a lot of music and photos and esp. if you don't download all your Logos resources, though that wouldn't be a killer. You could still get them on 16GB.

    I have a 32GB iPad and have some of my essential Logos resources downloaded to it (those I'd want to have if I'm not near wifi), and I have  almost 20GB free at this point. Remember that you can't use all 16 GB. On my 32 GB iPad I have about 28 GB available for storage of programs, data, etc.

    If you have the extra $100 it is probably worth getting the 32 GB version.

    Ron, I agree with Mark...although I have 64GB, 32 would be great.

    Ron - I agree with Mark & Claybon. You only NEED the smallest size, but larger is better, especially when you consider other apps you WILL add. What I would add is that the mobile app is designed primarily to be used online. You CAN download your entire mobile enabled* resource library, but I strongly discourage this unless you are regularly without wifi (or cellular). There are times when a clean install is the best solution to eliminate "kinks." If you have downloaded your entire library, this remedy will stress you out. If you have only a few downloads, you won't think twice about a new install.

    * Not all resources are available on mobile.

    I purchased the 64GB, but 32GB would have been okay. 5,300 resources.

    Now that is great advice!

    OK, thanks Mark. Now another question...If I get 32GB iPad...and do  not load all my books, can I load just the books that I want? and then dump some of them off and load others on. What I mean is can I pick and choose books and exchange them as I want?

    Yes. You can choose to download an individual resource, a subsection of your library (by using a filter), or your entire library. When you get your iPad, if you have troubles figuring this out, come back and ask. [:)]
