Are you planning on buying a kindle now that the ipad is available?

Or do you think that nobody will buy them anymore? From reading about the Ipad, I think that if I ever do get one, I still wont’ use it to replace reading on my kindle, which I find as easy on the eyes as paper (far better than a computer screen).

Answer #1

I hate answering a question with a question, but does the iPad have the same paper like screen as the Kindle? I’m assuming the overall function is the same, so I was trying to think of any advantages the Kindle may have over the iPad. The screen is smaller on the Kindle, so that’s a negative. The price on the Kindle is better though. Hmmm, is the iPad capable of using the Kindle app for iPhone? I believe so, and if it can have that and iBooks, well, it’s unstoppable. Once the prices go down, buying a Kindle would be almost illogical.

Answer #2

Hm, Ericson didn’t re-upload that I can find the pics of his ipad :( The screen on one of those is same as computer…thus, my question :) And yes there is a kindle app, but I find I have trouble with screens after too long in front of them. Not so with the kindle.

Answer #3

I don’t own either, so I would likely buy the iPad just so I could use its other features. Books aren’t my thing, so I couldn’t imagine myself staring at the screen for too long :) I research on the comp all day anyway, so my eyes are somewhat used to it, as I would assume yours are. Seeing that I don’t have a few hundred bucks lying around though, my answer may actually be “neither” for the time being…haha. Maybe a birthday present from people who love me. Hmmm, I’ll just have to find someone like that…

Answer #4

The downside is tat you can’t read the iPad in strong sunlight. But otherwise the book app is fantastic!

Amazon also has a Kindle app for iPad.

I no longer read my kindle.

Answer #5

Well I own a kindle and don’t plan on getting an ipad because I can just get a netbook which does more stuff cheaper than an ipad.

Answer #6

Yo, Ericson, send the un-used Kindle my way! I left mine on the flight back from Florida after Christmas – when it was my Christmas present :( Left it right in that little behind the seat pocket on the plane. Sigh.

Answer #7

Haha! I just might.

Answer #8

Oh, I’ll beg Ericson. I’ll beg.

Answer #9

I have had a Kindle for some time now, and have recently bought an iPad. If you just read, save money and buy a Kindle or a Nook. If you like apps and stuff,get the iPad. They are both great products though!
