I voted ebook for my Sony PRS-T1 and because i don't want my eyes melt reading on a tablet.




Both are great for reading. The new retina display really brought the iPad closer to the Kindle in reading quality except of course in direct sunlight or other brightly lit areas. So nowadays I find myself reading more on the iPad, specially for being a LOT easier to add notes or highlight something.

But for my light reading like articles, blogs, e-mail, book reviews, various cookbooks and my goodreads app I prefer the company of my iPad.
I would be hard pressed to give up either. And if I had to choose for the proverbial "If you could only take three things to a wifi enabled island question, I would include both... The third being... a food processor...

The only improvement would be an eyesensor that would let you turn pages without hands.


Let me educate you on the subject, the Kindle Fire is a worthwhile investment, and has a touch based screen, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!



you cannot beat the ipad's gorgeous HD screen, the size and the back light to read in the dark.
it's a little heavier than some other ereaders, but not more so than a hardback novel.
its a very personal decision b/c some people may need lightweight and/or don't care if it has back light etc.
i love that there are so many options. maybe we can add "love options" as the 3rd choice to the poll :P

Also, seems a lot of people are responding that shouldn't. To make the polling fair you should own BOTH an iPad AND some other eReader. Several comments indicate they do not own an iPad.




The Kindle also has a an MP3 feature, so I don't need to have my iPod handy to listen to music while reading.
I love my Kindle! Plus, I'm so glad I didn't pay the extra $40.00 to have the advertisements removed; those deals are better than Groupon :-)!
I much prefer my Kindle to any other kind of e-reader. This is mostly due to the fact that the Kindle doesn't have an LCD screen, and doesn't produce light, so it's way easy on my eyes, just like reading a real book. I LOVE MY KINDLE. I would suggest it to anyone.

I also use the Sony and sometimes my Kindle 2 inside.











Interesting ...."
I think it could be good, some say it's the kiss of death though. eeeek!
