And then again switch to my Kindle DX or K2 for eink reading, give my iPad battery a rest and enjoy the clear eink screen of my Kindles. And i can just start reading at the location where i stopped reading on my iPad and vice versa cause of the great Kindle app.

If I have the choice (and good light conditions ) I would always choose one of my kindles for reading a book and never my iPad. But if i just could keep one device i would maybe choose the iPad cause i "can" read on it. Just not the best experience you can get out there.

But in the end i am not that kind of person who cheers like a little cheerleader about features like fancy page turning or flashing books like Alice in wonderland So i don't fit into Steve Jobs target group thinking i got something magical in my hands. I just got a very nice and steady multimedia machine with it and could never think about something stupid like throwing away my other ereaders now
do you realize just how foolish and bitter this whole post sounds?
