Okay, okay, okay... Give it +3 points. The +97 others go to iPad...:p

I'm confused, are there kindle only titles on amazon? Do kindle users get a discount? iPad has iBook, kindle, and nook....seems like iPad has the most selection available.Quote:

Not everyone needs an iPad.

...if the iPad was marketed as a ereader, then I'd see their point. I would buy an kindle if I needed one, much the same as I have an ipod and my iPad... Sure, I can listen to music on my iPad, but it's not really the point of it.
The ONLY thing Amazon offers in terms of books in an electronic edition are in the Kindle format. These can be read on an actual Kindle device (well, duh!) or the Kindle app on an Apple mobile device or on your computer with the Kindle for PC program.Quote:

A fair number of people on this board think that the ipad is better for reading than kindle. That is a perception. (I happen to think it is a wrong perception, but that perception is why Amazon has to directly address it.)Quote:

But Amazon has the largest single store. Virtually everything available in ebook is on the Amazon store and 95% of the time when I have looked Amazon has been cheapest or the same price.
But I still think it is all a moot point if you don't like reading on the ipad (which I don't.)
I still think, having used both, that the kindle is easier on my eyes and I have much less eye strain using the kindle than I do reading a book on the iPad. That may be just me, but I'm guessing it's not.
