I just don't know how to answer them. I have an iPad too, so that's not the problem. I find it hard to believe they are real readers and yet they don't know what an ebook reader looks like. On the other hand, they aren't very much into iPads if they think this Kindle is one. I may be unfair, but I conclude that they are iPod fanbois who have heard of the iPad and know it must be cool because its from Apple -- not people who really care about the things that an iPad (or a Kindle) can do.
