I prefer my Kindle because it is much lighter and my hand doesn't get tired when I read for long periods of time. It is a very plain one, so my iPad is great for audio books and pictures

I do have the Kindle app on my iPad, but I regret not buying a newer type Kindle instead of spending all that money on an iPad. I am retired and don't travel that much so I have no need for an iPad really. Would have been much happier with a more advanced Kindle.

Love my Kindle Touch!!!! I really tried to read on my iPad. It was a no go for me....

my kindle touch

iPad is easier to use but definitely the Kindle. If I look too long at the screen on my iPad my eyes absolutely kill me!

Agreed, Jessica...and Sally! Much better reader, better rated, and easier to use than Kindle...mine is the Simple Touch...but eventually I will get the new Glowlight...

Definitely prefer my Kindle over my iPad; however, iPad is good for a book that has pictures...

Had a Kindle keypad (but someone stole it on a train - bereft to say the least) also have an iPad (too big)and Android tablet (too bright although I like the features on Kindle app) - but Kindle by far a better read. Getting another one soon as I can afford it.

Luckily found a brand new kindle keypad for sale at carbooty last Sunday for 1/3 cost - so so so happy to be reading on the kindle again - life is good!

Books: Nook Touch with the internal glow light. iPad: Magazines and daily news. iPad too heavy if reading time is extended. Gave away my Kindle; clunky, disorganized. Prefer iBook store over all others. Apple has their act together.

i-Pad & Kobo. Prefer Kobo for weight & size (pop in my pocket if I'm going somewhere outside the house)& outdoor reading. But usually use iPad cuz it's got all my magazines, etc. on it.

I am an iPad fan for everything and more and more delighted in the interactive magazines. But when I leave the house it is a pure convenience and delight to be able to continue reading my current novel on either iBook, eBook, kindle, kobo, all on my iPhone totally sync'd with my iPad. And indeed all my apple devices. Find myself reading more often on my iPhone as it is light and handy and lighting great too. And find I download and read much more from the ibook store than the others. Better price and availability IMO. Surprised with this added bonus switching totally from windows to APPLE all the way. :-). Everything in the house including music on the Cloud. Perfect! We spent the afternoon on the beach this week and I did not have a book but pulled out my iPhone 4 and finished off my current novel to the delightful concert of waves from the sea! Again perfect!

I love my Kindle!!!

I like my Kindles because I can get free book with Amazon Prime. Most are trivial, but there are some good ones.

I'm looking on goodreads on my kindle fire.

Love my Nook color and it is so much more than ereader!

I had a 1st edition Kindle, and it crapped out on me last summer. I had wanted an iPad, so I ended up getting one and used the Kindle app. I definitly prefer using the iPad!

I read on my iphone 4s (using the kindle app) at night. The ipad is too bright for me to read at night.

Depends on the situation. I have a 1st Generation iPad which is heavy, but I read a lot in bed with it (the backlight is nice and the brightness is adjustable) and for travel, I only take my iPad since it's such a multi-function device. However, I got a Nook Simple Touch to take with me daily or for a lazy afternoon in the park because my iPad is too heavy (and expensive) to take with me everywhere and I can't see my iPad in the daylight. I think if I had a Nook with the backlight (the newer B&W one), it would be easier on the eyes at night and could come with my daily. I love that I can get library books on either device!

Depends, however, the eReader is lighter and easier when I am waiting in line at the PO. iPad better for reading in bed.

Started with iPad found it too heavy and horrible glare. Got a Kobo and LOVE it!

My mom has an iPad and for her this is absolutely the right gadget because she needs large letters.

For myself I have been reading books on my old HP PDA on MobiReader for almost 10 years now and because I can comfortably read a normal sized font I muchly prefer my PDA which I can hold in one hand.

I also don't understand why people buy mp3 players and Kindles if you can just have these things on a smart phone (in my case my PDA, there were no smart phones back then...).

Kindle fire ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

love my kindle!!!

Kindle is great.

nook tablet vs samsung-samsung wills with ease!

Methinks Kindle is in trouble...early press is very impressed:

If you read mostly during the day, recommend the Kindle. If you read mostly at night, recommend the iPad. Just remember that you can't read the LED display on the iPad in broad daylight unless you're in the shade. A reading light is necessary for the Kindle since it's not illuminated (backlit).

Much prefer my Nook. It's smaller and lighter. I can carry it in my purse and any time I'm in a line I just pull it out and continue with my current boo, IPad is too big to carry around constantly. I think there is no doubt that the serious reader would prefer an e-reader, whether it's the Nook, Kindle, or other. IPad is great for other stuff

The newly announced Nook HD and Nook HD+ plus is going to outmatch and outclass the Kindle in a VERY big way...

I would prefer my kindle fire over my ipad because it has more books that I like.

Kindle of course! :D Better for the eyes and better battery and faster download of books!

iBook Kindle Kobo eBook on and on on ALL easily iPad downloaded in a whisper ...pre order works perfectly and all read well! However, iBook remains better price and availability IMO. Everything on iPad ...all APPs are adjustable. And sync to iPhone if you are out and need to read...right there with you in the palm of your hand. Perfection!

Kindle for text, iPad for comics and graphic novels

Only light reading on my iPad...since it's backlit and larger in size. IPhone in a pinch. But prefer one of my Kindles for serious reading. Have the kindle keyboard and have loved it... But just got the kindle Paperwhite and it's awesome!!

I had a Nook, but when I got the iPad, I gave it away. I vastly prefer the iPad.

For reading novels, I much prefer my Kindle. I have the 2nd generation Kindle and while the iPad is more user friendly, I am quite comfortable using and navigating my Kindle and since I am using it to read I am a HUGE fan of the digital ink used. (I don't get headaches like I do with the iPad.) I guess what I have to say is that if a computer screen causes eye strain, fatigue, or headaches, I strongly suggest an e-reader that uses digital ink over an iPad for readers!

i prefer to have a i pad

I find that my kindle touch is more convenient to bring anywhere since it's lighter and smaller in size. Because of the same reason, it's easier to hold for a long time while I'm reading.

I love my Kindle 2. I have an iPad, but for reading a book, the Kindle is the best. No eye strain and no distractions such as e-mail and other apps. I am interested in the Kindle paper white. Does anyone know anything about that reader?

Kindle ANY day!!!! :)

Thinking of getting the brand new mini iPad. Just as a reader but to have rest handy too.

I actually have just an iPad, don't have another reader.
Both my regular books and digital comics I read on it and so far am more than satisfied at the ease of use and readability.

Use my iPhone when out and about and as everything ...magazines, eBooks, iBooks, kindle and kobo all sync through the cloud to all my devices, iPod, iPad, iMac...I can read from where I left off anytime and anywhere. Plus. Could not imagine being without iPad now and my husband is the same. It does it all for you. You pre order and download or buy from iPhone while browsing in a bookstore, because the prices are better on iBook store, walk into the house and your purchases sync with all other devices in the house via the cloud.....apple handles it for you. Perfectly.

The Kindle Paperwhite is apparently delayed 4-6 weeks...for whatever reason..Simple Touch or the Simple Touch Glowlight is a better option, much better reviewed...

And if I use a tablet, where I have to click? Yah, 'cause a tablet and an iPad it's not the same word. Hope you've learned something.

I love the IPAD, but I wish the battery would last longer. I have a Kindle app on my IPAD; therefore, I have the best of both worlds

I have a Nook, Kindle and iPad. iPad wins, hands down. The screen is easiest to read, it is the fastest download, I like the lighted screen option the best and I like being able to pick and choose from all available ebook formats, which iPad currently supports

Does anyone have a Nexus?

Yep that's where all my reading gets done now. Sold my old PRS 600 and bought the basic model. Now I use it exclusively as an eReader
