Eye tracking? Too much trouble. I'm waiting for the one that reads my mind and then decides when to turn the page.

Coming soon from Amazon: Kindles with brain wave reading enabled. Finally, the blind will be able to read without braille devices and those in the persistent, vegetative state can read eBooks for all eternity.

By the way, bats have perfected that skill for a million years and see with their brain waves enabled by radar.

Bats most assuredly do not see using "radar". RADAR is "radio detection and ranging". Bats avoid obstacles using sound waves, not radio.

Yeah, that would be SONAR, "SOund Navigation And Ranging".

If you buy eBooks from Apple for your iPad, how does it perform as a reader? What are its features?

Could you give us a comparison between an iPad as an eReader and one of the new Kindles as an eReader?
Not a comparison really but I read on my iPad on both the Kindle and Kobo apps and iBooks. You can't compare the iPad to an e-ink reader really and I certainly wouldn't want to take it to the beach!
Outside you can't see the screen very well even in the shade or white on black and it is heavy-ish for prolonged periods.
For indoors, with the right brightness setting for your eyes, it's quite comfortable although the weight might get tiring if you hold it. When I use it to read it sits propped at the right angle in a case.
I am very happy to read on it in those circumstances or for a train journey when I travel light.
The iPad is invaluable for choosing books both from the web and within my library, it's much easier and faster than the e-reader to choose books, see an overview of the book and scroll through lots of books when looking through the library for a specific book or deciding on a new read.
For organising my library, as I don't use a PC, it is a must have. Without it I think I'd have given up on my KT.
I found this thread as my next e-reader will be a Kindle. I'd just put the PW13 on my Santa letter when I read of the PW14 rumours... To wait or not, oh dear.
Anyway Simaru hope that helps.

Not political correctness -- actual sympathy for people who have a condition that can lead to their being targeted and who might even be members of Mobile Read.
