Charlotte I miss my Nook (it died after someone spilled something on it) but I can say I love my ipad.


message 152: by Kim (new)

Kim I used to love my Nook but then I got my Kindle Fire, and I'm totally in love with it!


message 153: by Denise (new)

Denise I like the iPad. Having it backlit all the time is great and I like that I can change the font size. I don't own another reader, however since using this one I wouldn't use any others.


message 154: by Ioannis (new)

Ioannis There are other kinds of "ipads" you know, they are called tablets! anyway....
I voted ebook for my Sony PRS-T1 and because i don't want my eyes melt reading on a tablet.


message 155: by Seana (new)

Seana I am a huge fan of the pared-down, black and white kindle. It is SO LIGHT and sturdy I would never trade it for an iPad.


message 156: by Sharon (new)

Sharon I love reading on my Nook--the e ink is so like a page that I forget it is not a real paper book. I have read on the iPad but my eyes rebel after too long.


message 157: by Jacqueline (new)

Jacqueline iPad unless I'm outdoors. Then it's the Kindle.


message 158: by India (new)

India Jeremy It's easier for me to see the writing on my ipad- plus, it has color, which my kindle doesn't. However, I do love my kindle, especially because it doesn't glare.

Eduardo I have both a Kindle Touch and a new iPad.
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.

India.ney I love my kobo ereader it is so good!


message 161: by Matthew (new)

Matthew Kindle's so much easier to carry around and read on the tube :)


message 162: by ~ Lihllith ~ (last edited Apr 18, 2012 10:05AM) (new)

~ Lihllith ~ I really enjoy using my Kindle! Don't get me wrong about reading on the iPad. For some serious (block out the world) book time I prefer Kindle. Because it doesn't have all my distracting playtime and social apps.

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...

Karol Absolutely love my Kindle Fire, best $200 I ever spent.


message 164: by Vimes (new)

Vimes The device class is called tablet, not "ipad"


message 165: by Vimes (new)

Vimes I don't know how its supposed to get any easier than kindle. You are directly inside the book you are reading when you start it and you can turn pages with simple buttons which are on both sides for comfort.
The only improvement would be an eyesensor that would let you turn pages without hands.

Jim Can we get rid of this poll now? has been on the main page forevah.


message 167: by Vcr7143 (new)

Vcr7143 I am in love with my NookColor. It's the reason I'm reading again...


message 168: by Jim (new)

Jim Spencer Hands Down, I Love My Kindle Fire The Most! An added benefit is that I am not expected to buy another one every six months like the iPad.

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!


message 170: by Anthi (new)

Anthi It's ok reading on an iPad but my eyes get a bit tired, on the other hand I love reading on my Sony PRS 950!


message 171: by Raymond (new)

Raymond Fundora I have the iPad, but the back light kills my eyes when I use it as a reader. I find the nook simple touch reader to be best for reading. I love mine!!!!!


message 172: by Trish (last edited Apr 22, 2012 11:13AM) (new)

Trish i had 3 ereaders before the new ipad. ipad wins :D

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


message 173: by Mark (last edited Apr 22, 2012 04:54PM) (new)

Mark Where does the Kindle Fire fit in? While the size is more like a traditional eReader, it's really just a tablet, like the iPad. That's where I do most of my reading. I don't like the iPad because of the size, but the backlit LCD doesn't bother me.

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.


message 174: by Melanie (new)

Melanie I have not touched my Nook since the iPad came into my life. I also prefer the kindle app over the nook app (I have both).


message 175: by carol (new)

carol I put kindle as it's lighter and fits in my bag or pocket...but I read on my iPad too, it's just heavier, bigger not so user friendly and the battery doesn't last long.


message 176: by Aneesah (new)

Aneesah I have an iPad (I got it for Christmas) with a Kindle app that I love but I also read some books in iBooks. I love them both! I keep waiting for the "shiny" to wear off my iPad but I still love it today as much I did Christmas morning!


message 177: by Dana (last edited Apr 24, 2012 05:35AM) (new)

Dana While I love PADi (my iPad's name), it is not for beach use. I even bought one of those expensive Anti-Glare Protection screens that failed to do the job it promised. I definitely prefer using my Kindle when reading, at home and on vacation, because there's rarely a glare on the screen and it's not uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time.

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 :-)!


message 178: by [deleted user] (new)

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.


message 179: by Kenny (new)

Kenny Chaffin I use mostly my Kindle Fire inside and my Sony 505 - eink outside (when walking or at the park, etc.)

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


message 180: by Jonathan (new)

Jonathan Lupa Tablets are ok for light reading, but e-ink is simply necessary for long bits of immersion.


message 181: by Mari (new)

Mari I have had a Nook color since they came out, just got the Nook Tablet. Totally addicted!


message 182: by Bonna (new)

Bonna Hicks I love my Kindle. I have the older version (GREAT battery) and the Kindle Fire.


message 183: by Kathi (new)

Kathi Pitz-Salmond my nook color ROCKS!!!! :)


message 184: by Lisa (new)

Lisa i only have my nook simple touch as a ereader and also i can read off my ipod to but i like both of them


message 185: by Beth (new)

Beth Bermani Surprised at the poll results! I love reading on my iPad (with the Kindle app, of course so I can access Overdrive downloads)...and not so much on my daughter's Kindle Fire where the text only goes in one direction and shows very little.


message 186: by Nicole (new)

Nicole We have the ipad, kindle and the nook-by far the Nook is my favorite! I love it!!


message 187: by Christopher (new)

Christopher Herz Kindle. Feels most like a book.


message 188: by Marlene (new)

Marlene My kindle fire is the best I cant live without it


message 189: by Jojo (new)

Jojo R I think the Kindle is more confusing. I figured how to use the iPad by myself. I prefer the screen to be bigger because it is easier.


message 190: by Marie (new)

Marie I prefer my Kindle,Nook and Sony because it is much easier to scroll down with and it is smart and fastening to use i can check my messages my friends can even ask me is it a good thing to use iPad on good reads and i say try the Kindle the Nook or the Sony you might like what you see. And they try it they love it because they can get to their messages when they are at work they can bring it with them.

L.P. Dover I have an iPad and my daughter has a kindle. I would have to say I would choose my iPad over the kindle. However, I have heard some wonderful things about the kindle fire. I would love to have one of those.

message 200: by Khadija (new)

Khadija Olson I have all the Nooks, and a ipad, I enjoy reading out side and I use my Nook touch, when reading inside I use my Nook Color. However I use the ipad to travel with because it does everything, books, games, etc.

Thanks
