Just like we've had refusals for Autobrakes, Autothrottles an Adiru being inop (when there are Three on board. Or an Apu being inop Flying over Mountains west of Denver, as if having the APU is going to help the airplane in GETTING over the Mountains. So No, I don't care essentially about the ipad OR the EFB just the added BS it will bring after it's installed. Heck I'm still wondering How some crew's flew BEFORE we had autoland to hear all the "Caterwauling" I hear when it's inop. JEEZ!
Just seems like another "Bell and Whistle" to me..

Each pilot will be issued one, not sure where the responsibility lies on taking care of it.It will be partioned off so it can be used for personal use also.
