    I have both. But I tend to use the iPad more. If I am at home, I might use the Kindle, but when I travel I take only one device, and the iPad wins.

    I plan to simply use the iGlare and forego a separate reader. Now, if I were a big book reader then the Kindle is hands-down easier on the eyes.

    No doubt the dedicated readers are better for long reading periods but I personally don't usually have lots of block time to read so that isn't a problem for me. But, on the glare side, my wife's Kindle whips my iPad terribly even for short periods of time. But as I usually read indoors at night, that's not a concern for me either.

    NookColor, which I bought when I returned my IPad 1. Now that I have the IPad 2, I've been neglecting the Nook. I like being able to read my books on landscape and NookColor does not provide that option. I like the bigger screen as well. I wonder what the re-sale value for the NC is. Probably not much.

    I had an original nook that I got for Christmas last year. I loved it, but I sold it to raise money for my iPad. I'd say it wouldn't be a redundant purchase, especially if you bought one with eink, because reading eink vs. an iPad screen is like night and day. With that being said I love that I could transfer all of my ePub files into iBooks. And I'll never buy an ereader again. But to each their own!

    Back in June, I wrote that I would often use the Kindle at home, and the iPad when on the road. But eventually I started using the Kindle app on the iPad and stopped using the Kindle e-reader altogether, even though on some afternoon commutes, when there is lots of glare, the Kindle would be better in terms of readability.
