The Apple iPad VS The Amazon Kindle

By Paul HoIf you already have the Kindle DX, I know that many of you would be asking what is the difference between the two, the Kindle DX and the Apple iPad? This comparison just came out when I was considering getting a Kindle eBook reader which coincidentally was the exact time the Apple iPad hit the markets.
At first glance, I thought that the iPad was only an eBook reader because it does look like one. And when I learned the selling price of iPad that starts from $499, I began to wonder why it is that expensive for an eBook reader. Then, I began to make comparison on what to get. I would like to consider Kindle DX for the price of $489 or any eBook reader for the matter. The problem with Kindle DX is that it is too small for me.
The Kindle DX and the Apple iPad both have a 9.7" screen. The iPad screen has a full-colored touch screen so that you could be able to watch high-definition videos while the DX is not. The Kindle DX utilizes an ink technology that will make it looks like a true paper and it is not straining for your eyes.
At one look, it seems that there is no comparison between the DX and the new Apple iPad. The Apple product could be used for different activities like for reading eBooks, e-magazines and newspaper, all in full color. You could also browse the web, listen to music, watch videos and films and have access to all of the applications on the Apple Store. The DX appears to be just a plain eBook reader. The iPad is versatile because of the different applications you could experience while the DX is only the normal eBook reader.
If you want to have a e-book reader that could answer all of your needs, there is no doubt that the Apple iPad Computer Tablet will be an excellent choice. But if you are a book lover and would like a gadget that is designed specifically for reading materials, the Amazon Kindle DX would best suit your taste. Even if I do not have the iPad yet, but I think that the Kindle DX will provide the comfort of reading a book for longer period of time because of the materials of the screen. It is handier and has a long batter life of about two weeks on one charge.
Whether it is an iPad or DX, be sure to know all the details before buying it. Be sure that it is worth the price and do not cause you any trouble. Choose the one that you think will fit your taste and needs. Overall, you will be the one who will use it, so be careful in deciding. Avoid having regrets when you already bought one of those two. Both of them have good qualities to keep you entertained and informed, so it's up to you.
