Just switched from kindle DX to iPad. I do not like reading novels on such a big screen, if only DX had the same two columns reading mode as iBooks... For PDFs kindle is barely usable, no words to describe the difference in reading with BlueFire vs on DX. I was hesitating at first to buy iPad because I was afraid of the glare. I must say it is not a problem reading evenings with fine source of light. Well maybe I will clean the dust from my kindle for the summer
but honestly I do not read outdoors.
