Just sold my iPad...

iPad has terrible text resolution/clarity/rendering making prolonged reading difficult on my eyes. The Retina display on the iPhone/iPod touch is terrific, but the iPad display is terrible for reading. The Fire is a great reader with crisp and clear text.
The iOS system is much more elegant and it works more or less flawlessly. Android not so much. Though Android is more customizable and open, apps just seem to work less annoyingly on the iPad.
Battery life of iPad was terrible. Battery life of Fire a little better but not great.
Syncing of email, contacts, and calendars is much easier and seamless on iPad. Google sux with their forcing of Google Services which equally suck.
Integrating with other devices is MUCH easier on the Fire than with the closed iOS iPad.
