I have a Kindle 3 and recently added an iPad 2 to the mix. Being a Kindle user, I, of course, installed the Kindle app. While I'm not big on reading long form materials on LCD screens, I do like the idea of having my materials available on both devices. Anyhow, I noticed a few things that are unique to the iPad version of the the Kindle app, which I've not seen in either the desktop nor the Android versions:

1) The home screen backdrop image changes at night... the kid's screen glows...

2) There is a feature that looks similar to what I've heard that the new K4 has which gives additional information about the book... plot points, who the characters are, etc... it's nice that you can turn on/off the spoilers, and feel safe checking up on how a character is without having to worry about reading too much.

Is there anything else unique to the iPad version that I've not discovered yet?
