I certainly love both my iPad and my Sony readers, but I could theoretically live without my iPad (not that I'd want to); I couldn't live without my Sony reader.

I have both my 650 and iPad. While I like the iPad for reading eBooks, the 650 is a lot more portable with better battery life.

I use my iPad extensively for reading and annotating pdfs, and my e-ink devices for 'fun' books. I love both. The iPad screen doesn't bother me.

I have just started trying to read on the ipad, in stanza, and I find that way too big. There's something about iBooks that doesn't twek my interest very much, but I also tried reading in Apabi reader, in landscape, and that works for me. Alas, Apabi doesnt have very good management of library (its similar, but not the same as, ibooks.... i wish more would pick up authors from the metadata, and then arrange a sparate author listing like Stanza does... but none do, except Megareader and its clumsy... just not getting there IMO). Anyway, reading in landcape with Apabi, is very easy (and actually quite elegant!).
I'm using my 650 sometimes but now that I am not out and about anymore, I find I hardly ever use it. And I havent yet found a good way to manage thousands of books on it. It slows down a lot, once you have a lot of books in there. Last edited by kyteflyer; 04-25-2012 at 06:33 PM. |
