For reading I feel the Kindle's eInk display is much better on the eyes and the price drop can only distance itself from the iPad. Mind you when I can afford one I'd like the iPad.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-70236245285317350372010-08-03T03:36:18.806-07:002010-08-03T03:36:18.806-07:00Sorry pal, having used both an iPad and Kindle, I ...Sorry pal, having used both an iPad and Kindle, I can say that the iPad beats the Kindle hands-down. The iPad battery lasts for days, not 10 hours (not sure what this fellow's doing with his) and oh ... it's in color! The world isn't black and white, Amazon. <br /><br />He says the Kindle is for people who read. Yep, but people read more than just non-illustrated novels. I want one device I can read books on, comics, graphic novels, kids' books, see full-color book covers (that I've paid for!), magazines, newspapers, video mags, etc. That device is the iPad. And I'm betting soon that Apple will offer a slightly smaller version. Yes, the iPad is heavier than the Kindle, but I haven't popped a sweat hefting it yet....<br /><br />As the man says, they're different products. But for my money and my reading appetite, the Kindle just doesn't offer what I want. The iPad does.Matthew P. Mayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078400556536047544noreply@blogger.com
