Thumbs up Why I Bought a Kindle 3 and Why I Stopped Using My iPad To Read eBooks

If you’ve read any of my previous columns, you know that I’ve always been a big fan of ebooks. I started out with a Kindle 2 and then proceeded to buy an iPad. I loved both of these devices for different reasons, but I finally decided to replace both of them for reading ebooks with something new: the Kindle 3.

This column is broken into two pages. On the first page I explain why I bought my Kindle 3 and on the second I share the reasons why I’ve found it to be better than my iPad for reading ebooks.
This guy bought a Kindle 3 and now isn't using his ipad for ebooks any more. I can't say I blame him. I can't imagine reading on an LCD screen for any length of time. Ick!

Not to bash the ipad, it's cool. I wouldn't use it for ebooks though unless I had no other alternative. That screen would just suck to stare at for hours on end.

I'd use the ipad for the web and games though.
