I don't know exactly what kind of books you read or like, but one of things I did not enjoy of that Kindle for webOs version is that there is no "true landscape" mode. In other words, when you are in landscape mode, the page is divided and gives the illusion of a real book with two pages side by side. For a novel, that's fine. But if you read computer or programming books, that basically defeats the purpose of the landscape mode and makes really difficult to read the code.

I will cry really loud, if Kindle decided to do the same on the iPad application. If that ever happens I guess I will have to go back an get a Kindle DXG or a 10" Android tablet.
