The iPad, although cute and fun looking, really just is my ipod Touch on steroids. And it's bigger and heavier than the Kindle, so the "reading" experience might be a tad cumbersome.
I mean, look--it's HUGE! (Either that or Steve Jobs is a midget.) Everyone is talking about it being the "Kindle Killer." I disagree. I would hate holding that thing up to read off of. Especially since I like to lay down in my bed and read with my head propped up on a pillow. My hands would get tired!Sure, the Kindle is simple and clean and doesn't have all the fun functions of the latest tablet from Apple, but since all I want from it is the ability to download and read books, it suits me quite nicely.
Maybe someday when I have $800 to burn, I can upsize my ipod Touch. For now, I like my Kindle just fine, thank you very much.
Thoughts?

The whole Amazon/Macmillan fight has turned me off all things Amazon at this point. I don't have a Kindle and won't be buying one -- but Im not planning to buy an IPad either. It reminds too much of my iPod touch, only bigger.
I have an iPhone and a Nook and that's really all I need. I *lurve* my Nook. It's awesome.
I don't have any of these things and doubt that I ever will. Give me a good old "real" book and I am happy!
