Re: Kindle vs iPad for reading books,magazines,newspapers,reference&illustrated mater


When talking about reading devices iPad is a toy for me indeed. But many businesspeople use it and I do understand why.

Also I agree with the following comarison of iPad with Kindle:
Quote:
iPad pros for reading:
  • iPad is a lot better for magazines, reference materials, and illustrated materials. Kindle is worlds better for reading novels.
  • iPad has some amazing children's books and magazines, which take advantage of its multimedia features.
iPad cons for reading:
  • iPad is pretty heavy, making it more difficult to hold in your hand or carry with you everywhere. Kindle is much more portable and easier to hold.
  • iPad is unreadable in sunlight and glare is bad in bright light.

Kindle is as good as a printed page in bright light. Ipad serves as a creative tool, a computing tool, a gaming tool, and a communication tool. Kindle is only a novel machine. I don't regret buying either one of them. An iPad won't replace books, but a Kindle can, if the book is text-only
