      I'd vote for the ipad, since you can do more than just read books with it.

          mom and daughter have the DX, they love it, set up an amazon account, use the kindle to shop for a book, find one, hit download and your reading 2 minutes later. The voice feature is pretty cool, it reads the book for you
          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
          think about that

                  Well, they're both pretty goddamn worthless unless you want to use a computer to not get anything worthwhile accompished.

                  Just keep posting on GFY, and save yourself some cash.

                      my advice, buy real books and use your computer for the other stuff.

                      personally i spend enough time looking at a damn computer screen and when i want to read i grab an actual book.

                          I'd say they're two completely different categories..
                          reading books - Kindle

                          magazines, little games - Ipad

                          I have both - I won't read on the ipad because I don't like backlighting...
                          I read a lot, and have completely deserted real books... Love my Kindle...

                                  I like to hold a book in my hand, I like the experience, the smell, the feel of it.

                                      I buy books on my iphone and ipad using kindle app. both are very good. I would say go with the ipad as it has a lot more you can do on it. Battery lasts forever too.

                                      That said, I do still enjoy a physical book as well.

                                                  I have a original Kindle and won an Ipad from CamZ (thanks Scooter and Dan). I don't like Kindle app for the Ipad. I had to adjust the background colors and the backlight gets to be after a while. I spend enough time looking at a lit screen all day to do the same when I want to read a book.

                                                  I use my Kindle pretty much daily. Been thinking about getting a newer one now that they lowered the price, but I don't know that I'd get the larger DX version. I like my smaller one.

                                                  The Ipad I use for a bit of net surfing from bed, checking things through apps like the weather and such, and a few games.

                                                      If it's for reading books, get the Kindle. One thing people don't realize is that the Kindle uses e-paper and you can look at it all day long in any lighting condition without eye strain. An Ipad is basically a regular computer screen, your eyes will get tired reading long form on it, especially if you are somewhere that causes glare.

                                                      Kindle - Long form reading.

                                                      IPad - Short form reading.

                                                                          It's kinda like saying should I buy a pocket knife or a multitool leatherman.
