Nevertheless, since I have my Kindle Fire I mainly use that as the form factor is more practical. But I do use the iPad, or my iPod touch if I need to and make sure to load new eBooks to all three devices as a provision (e.g. if my kids are using the Kindle Fire for watching videos and the iPad for playing games).
OK, now that I have another Kindle 3 Keyboard (and a sturdy cover to keep it safe), I am again amazed at how nice an e-ink reader is for reading, despite the lower resolution (compared to the Kindle Fire), the smaller screen (compared to the iPad) and the need of a lamp to read by.

The Kindle Fire only gets used when I want to read late at night without disturbing my wife. Hmm.

Best regards,
Andy
