During the last year, Amazon’s Kindle, which is an eBook reader compatible with Amazon’s huge collection of eBooks, remained the bestselling product in Amazon.
With the release of the Apple’s iPad, the Kindle is sure to receive great competition. Realizing this in time, Amazon has opened up Kindle for App development.
Therefore, before deciding on which one to buy, you should definitely do a comparison of these two devices. Here are some comparisons to help you decide which one is better.
1. The Kindle is a simple eBook reader offering a nice reading experience, whereas the Apple iPad is a multi-purpose device that can function as a tablet mobile computer, media player, and an eBook reader.
2. If you want to buy an eBook reader, then Apple’s iPad might not get as many points as the Amazon Kindle. This is because the Kindle store has more than 400,000 books available currently, whereas Apple has only unveiled iBookstore for iPad.
3. iPad is a bit heavier compared to Kindle.
4. The cheapest Kindle you can get is for $259, whereas the lowest model iPad costs $499.
