The Kindle is great for airplane bookreading. The e-ink display is also quite legible for reading outside in sunlight. I put the Kindle in a leather cover, so it feels more like a bookreading experience. There are lots of free classic literature available for download from Amazon.

The backlit iPad is better for reading at night in bed. It's also good for reading online magazines, newspapers, and other media with embedded photos or video. There's a free Kindle reader download available for the iPad.

The Kindle is a great bookreader. The iPad is a versatile multimedia device.
