I'm loving my Kindle.

Prefer my Kindle Keyboard

I've only read one book in my iPad (because my Kindle was on its way) and two books on my iPhone (because I didn't have my Kindle).

prefer my laptop/kindle

I love my Kindle Fire

I read on all my tablets & eReaders (have 2 Nooks, 1 Kindle Paperwhite, and an iPad). I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite for long reads, using it every night after I get in bed. The screen is wonderful, easy on the eyes plus taking the iPad to bed is too distracting. Love the iPad for magazines, newspapers, and other large format reading, but after awhile it does cause eye strain. My Nooks are the least used for reading and in general. I have the original Nook that has a dull screen but I do like the literary essays it sends every evening (but a guy named Steve King not to be confused with author, Stephen King). The Nook Color is used mostly for gaming.

My Kindle Paperwhite with the backlight is awesome! There's virtually no eye strain and I love the fact that I can read outdoors with no glare, unlike the ipad.

The iPad will make your eyes feel tired after 10 minutes because of the retroillumination :(

Nook!

I like my Kindle better than the iPad I have. I also think it burns my eyes less.

I love my iPad. I love using the iBooks app. I also own a reader and comparatively I prefer my iPad

Kindle paperwhite is my favorite of all!! As my eyes have gotten worse and cant read paperback print anymore, the kindle does the trick!! so happy to own it!

IPad mini is the perfect format for reading e-books.

The Kindle Fire, definitely!

Does reading on ipad ruin your eyesight?

I read PDFs on my iPad and books on my Kindle Paperwhite and I have not experienced any change in eyesight for either product, and I read a LOT. Also neither device makes my eyes seem "tired". YMMV.

Actually, i have experienced that my eyes get red and water up if i read too long on my iPad. Especially if i am reading in the dark. My eyesight is as it's always been, though.

Kindle all the way!

e-ink is better for your eyes than LCD screens and glare...e-ink device with anti-glare screen = book's quality without the exquisite scent. I have a Kindle touch so I wont have to carry a dictionary while reading 'tough' books.

I love my Kobo Glo! It's perfect and I always carry on with me, no matter where I go.

It totally depends--I will say that reading periodicals, newspapers, and knitting patterns is best on my husband's iPad, but most of my reading consists of novels which I download in ePub format from my library's OverDrive site and load on my Kobo Mini--it's tiny, lightweight, and lives in my purse for reading anytime, anywhere. I like the e-ink screen and given its very low cost, I can easily afford multiple devices. I also have a smaller Kindle Fire which I sometimes use to read at home. It's pretty heavy for extended use, although my 7 yr old grandson, an Erin Hunter fan, loves it--come to think of it, he usually props it on a table, too. That little guy read 15 Warrior Cat books since late May on the Kindle Fire.

I bought a Kindle Paperwhite specifically because I would marathon books on my iPad and end up with terrible headaches because of the light. The Kindle is so much easier on my eyes.

I pad I phones I pods they all have too many glitches and not enough versatility so they all suck

Brandy, I have the same problem with printed books. I cannot change the font size and cannot find it it Large Print. Different strokes for different folks. Meanwhile I am reading WAY more oin my Kindle than I did on print books.

I prefer reading on my Kindle versus my iPad.

I have a Kindle, Sony (both paperwhites) and iPad. I prefer the readers over the iPad.

I don't have an iPad, but I've read on one before. And my kindle is sooo much better!

Kindle app on my iPad mini

I've had my Sony eReader for years, and love it!

I have the kindle 2 which was right before the Kindle Fire came out and it requires a light to be added. The light runs on battery and runs those down very quickly. Since I read in bed at night I prefer my iPad because of the back light.

Laura, I used a headlight, one that straps to your head, which I bought at Walmart. I used rechargeable batteries and it still lasted several days and I read about an hour a night. I have not used it since I bought a paperwhite. I can't stand the touch screen but I really like the built in light. Now if they would just make one with mechanical page turning buttons and the built in light I would be happy.

I have an ipad but I prefer reading books on my phone. It is the perfect size and I found a reading app that I like. It's great for reading at night or on the go. I would never use my ipad as an ereader way too bulky. I love that I can just stick it in my pocket and go. If I don't want to be interrupted by calls or notifications I just put it in airplane mode. Also if I fall asleep when reading I don't have to worry as much about rolling over and crushing it. Much cheaper to replace my phone than my ipad.

I definitely prefer my kindle keyboard, but I use my iPhone or iPad at night when my husband's asleep, so I don't have to mess with a booklight.

Kindles were created specifically for reading, and use electronic ink and have a much longer battery life than an iPad.

I LOVE my paper-white, one of the best things I've ever bought.

Plus, the Ipad is about thrice the cost.

I love reading on my iPad. I have a Kindle, but I gave it to my dad, who loves to read as much as I do. He likes it because he can enlarge the print size.

I have an original black and white Kindle, so I prefer my colour friendly IPad, plus I find the IPad easier to read from. The Kindle requires a light, whereas I can read in bed with my IPad, without disturbing my husband.

i like to read on my iPad

The grammar police are here. Why, after all this time do I still have to be irritated by the wrong word in the poll?

I have a nook which I rarely use but when I do use it I use it for reading library e-books, I much prefer a real hard copy of a book, the smell, the feel of turning the page etc. Perfection!!

Kindle Fire--it's so easy to get content & it can do anything an ipad can without messing with Apple & at a fraction of the cost.

I like my kindle but not for cookbooks. I really like the iPad for that especially when there are nice links to suggested sides.

I love my Nook!!

KPW2 any day. Easy to hold, easy to see clearly in all settings, and it works like a charm. I don't leave home without it.

Kindle all the way, but only if it's on the actual device or the kindle app on my phone.

I’d like to see a break-down of the different ereaders

I like my Kobo more, the bright screen from the iPad hurts my eyes if I'm reading for too long...

I love my iPad! Tried my brother's Kindle and didn't think much of it. Too small. it felt like I was reading on a phone.

I love my kindle more than my ipad :)

Definitely kindle

I've tried them all, Kindle for sure.
