The reason is that the Kindle screen size is perfect for me, whereas the iPad line length is uncomfortable, despite every adjustment I could make to it. It also helps that the Kindle is much lighter as well as smaller. I've ordered a K3 to see if the greater contrast will enhance my reading.

The iPad is tops for reading PDFs, though. No contest there.
I totally agree. I do find the iPad too heavy for hand held book reading but can rest it on a small pillow in my lap or leave it in it's case and prop it up that way. I have to admit to spending way more time reading news apps and other related web type reading than reading my recreational books. It really has replaced my poor laptop computer for every day usage. Absolutely perfect for traveling. It's great having access to trip maps etc.
Looking forward to checking out the hubby's new K3.
