iPad Compared with other E-Book Readers
So you’ve read about the iPad and the many write-ups that were published right after it’s launch. By now, you’re probably swimming in the swamps of criticisms about the iPad and may be you’re beginning to wonder whether it will actually succeed upon release.
Actually I still believe that Apple will be able to pull this one through. The Apple iPad is a first generation product, so I kind of expected major shortcomings. But this does not affected my views towards it. I still believe that the iPad will still managed to get the sales up from early believers as well as critics.
Why? Because for one thing, I believe that the iPad will be a great e-book reader. Something that will put class into the e-reader market. It’s major purpose which Apple does not want to admit is to become a major contender in the e-reader market and for that it would be worthwhile to see how the iPad compares with other major e-book readers.
PaidContent just did that – compared the iPad’s features with the Amazon Kindle 2, Amazon Kindle DX, Sony Daily Edition, Barnes and Noble Nook, and Prologic Que. Take a look at their comparison table and find out for yourself whether the iPad stand a chance and deserves your buck.

THe ipad uses a backlight and for an e-reader, that’st a dealbreaker!
@John -> If you use Kindle apps for iPhone or iPod Touch, it’s practically the same thing but with a bigger screen.
What’s the big deal with a backlight? It doesn’t bother me. It can’t bother everyone. I read books on my iPod, and I’d love a bigger screen. I think this will be a great product.
