I wouldn't mind having an iPad, in-fact I was in a quandary over which of the two to get for a while. It's why I didn't order a K3 the first day. I finally decided that since I mainly read in my spare time, the Kindle just makes more sense as a reader being lighter, cheaper, and easier to replace if I do something stupid. I'd honestly be afraid to take the iPad out of the house.
Still, Christmas is yet to come this year, so who knows?
