Two of the best-selling readers in today’s market areAmazon’s KindleandApple’s iPad.
So which one is a better reader for the bookworm within each of us?
Read on to find out which is the better reader - Kindle vs iPad!
The Display
On first glance the differences in the display and size between the two are obvious.
The iPad has a full-color, backlit screen and has a 9.7" diagonal viewing area.
The Kindle uses a low-power yet high contrast E Ink-patented technology and has a 6" diagonal.
In contrast, the Kindle works best in bright light.
This helps reduce eye strain when sitting for a long session of reading.
Of course the iPad reigns supreme for interactive and full-color content.
The E Ink display of the Kindle just doesn’t display any of it (literally).
The Feel
The iPad is over twice as heavy as the Kindle.
The Kindle on the other hand is very lightweight and durable.
I think the Kindle wins out in this regard.
However the Kindle beats the pants off of the iPad as a reader.
That means that it’s possible for you to have up to2 weeksof reading time on the Kindle.
Both on the Kindle or iPad, you are using their chosen platform to obtain and read books.
On the Kindle, you are ‘locked in’ to Amazon’s store.
For the iPad, you actually do have more options at hand.
Once you purchase a Kindle/iBook/Nook book, you are essentially ‘stuck’ with it on that platform.
The iPad is definitely a winner here.
Cost
Finally we look at the cost of the two.
So Which is a Better Reader?
The price is the final clincher.
Not having to worry about replacing a $500 gear vs a $150 gear is also a consideration.
