Now try that again in a dimly lit plane in a seat with the light unfortunately located slightly ahead of you, or when your partner is sleeping in bed beside you. Neither is ideal in all situations.

True, but the Kindle display is easier to read in the most common conditions, and works quite nicely with an Itty Bitty Book Light, whereas nothing will help the iPad out in the sun (e.g., at a park or the beach). -- Best regards, John If the iPhone and iPad are really so impressive, then why do iFans keep making excuses for them? |
