I looked at them all and decided the iPad was the best solution for me. It has multiple uses, not just a book reader, the screen, while reflective in the outdoors, is wonderful at home, backlit, not need to look for a well lit spot to sit. I can even read in bed, with the lights off, the wife snoozing beside me as I stay up late nights reading about Mark Twain's life. Unfortunately, I'm still half in to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in hard copy, and need to split my attention between the two.

So, back to the main point, for a little more than twice the cost of another ebook reader I have a that plus a music player, note taker, email reader, web browser, game player, movie watcher and more that I'm sure will be coming along soon in the app store. Did I mention COLOR?

I I did not need all that other functionality, I'd go Kindle, I think. But the iBook reader with iPad is no slouch! I'm loving it.
