[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1146325, member: 45350"] I will admit to being prejudiced toward the iPad (which I love), but the Kindle has four (and only four) advantages over the iPad. 1) It is cheaper -- $139 for the wifi version 2) It is lighter and smaller, thus more portable and potentially easier to handle while reading 3) The e-Ink screen has better visibility in direct sunlight (I don't read on the beach so not an advantage for me) 4) Better battery life -- about a week vs charging every day on the iPad BTW: the MacBook is not a serious competitor as an eReader, either the Kindle or iPad blows that option out of the water. My opinion FWIW if ALL (and I mean all) she is ever going to do with it is read, then buy the Kindle, otherwise the versatility of the iPad blows the Kindle away, and it is an excellent eReader (I use my constantly for that). :) [/QUOTE]
