Alright, now that we all know the iPad sucks... E-READER THREAD - Page 2

My wife loves her Kindle. The Kindle price will drop significantly over the next 6 months. As for the iPad a Kindle Killer? If you are an avid reader of novels, the Kindle will remain a top choice. The iPad, etc are different devices. LCD is not great for avid readers. E ink is the way to go, IMO. Her pros: $10 book price, Whispernet 60 second downloads from anywhere, 1500 books in her hand, convenience, she loves the form factor. Cons: none.

I can skip to pages and set the book down easily. The books won't change, so I don't need updates or anything from the Internet. I just don't understand the point of paying money for something with less functionality.
Well now you're just getting nit-picky.
