I Totally Disagree: Kindle vs. iPad

The Bottom Line: Since I got my iPad, I find reading books on it so good that I can no longer bear to use my Kindle - although the Kindle app is the best eBook reader on the iPad, and the only one I use. Picking up the Kindle - after using the iPad for several weeks - is like stepping back into the Dark Ages of eBooks - a small-screen world of poor contrast, in which you can read comfortably only in perfect, bright lighting. It looks somehow pathetic alongside the iPad.

I could not disagree more. The iPad is my least favorite way to read long form content (magazine articles, instapaper, books). I even prefer my iPhone to my iPad.

The Kindle is best of all; it is lightweight, it doesn’t hurt my eyes, I can read it in the sun, it has fewer distractions, it disappears when in use, it connects to the internet for free, and it is easier to turn pages.
