    @ Harry McCracken : Why do you prefer an iPad for reading as opposed to the Kindle?

    A few reasons:

    1) I spend more time reading in dimly-lit areas than in the direct sunlight, so the backlighting helps
    2) I'm morel iikely to have the iPad with me, since it does more
    3) I don't like the grayness of dedicated e-reader screens

    (BTW–I do like the new Kindle as well. Just not as much overall.)
