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.
