Yeah, I’m not sure. I guess the other 12 readers aren’t either. It’s fantastic though that there’s an iPad in the poster art for 2001, though.

I do not know the answer, i’m asking you or your readers if anyone knows when a reading pad was first postulated in SF. It wasn’t intended as a quiz question, if that is what you thought.
My first notice of a pad was in 2001 A Space Odyssey, but i have not read a large amount of SF, so i’m curious.

Clarke/Kubrick, Asimov, Welles, Verne?
