My thread was "the iPad as a reader" not "the iPad compared to eInk". But HAD I wished to compare I might have pointed out:
- can read in dim light or no light
- can buy from any book store, not tied to Amazon or B&N
- great for PDF's including highlighting and annotating
- no delay in turning pages
- no blink when turning pages
- My bible (Olive Tree) is fully integrated with maps, commentaries, dictionaries, topical analysis etc.
- color
- Magazines, newspapers, web look fantastic
- Flibboard has turned my rss feeds into a fantastic "magazine" that I read daily to keep up on tech.
I don't sit in the sun to read, and I have no problem plugging the iPad in at night.
But, this wasn't a thread about the ipad being better, just what the iPad was like as a reading device. Pretty FanDeDamnTastic IMHO.
