AKICILJ: iPad Dropbox?

I discovered the hard way (by being without access) that Dropbox doesn't actually copy files to the iPad -- it just makes them accessible via wifi or whatever.

Wifi access aboard ship is way too pricy ($.55/minute at the cheapest), so when we hit Juneau tomorrow and I visit a Starbucks or whatever, does anyone know how I offload the files onto iPad hard storage? If it matters, they're mostly Word files, plus one PDF.

Thanks for any help!

(still an iPad newbie)

If the files are .doc then just use iTunes to move the files to the storage assigned to the Pages app, which you would need to buy, of course. If they are pdf, I suggest Good Reader, for which there are seveal ways to move files to, including via the web, prior to you leaving.
