Isabel, the word sexy can mean attractive and doesn’t always imply a sexual intent (implicit or explicit).

Like a lot of other words (beautiful, fun, cool, naughty, etc.) – in fact like pretty much any word – the word sexy can be used in a variety of contexts.

If i think a book is beautiful it doesn’t mean I intend to marry it.

Not sure what you mean by “sexy” ??? I didn’t read anywhere in the review whereby the ipad was dressed in a pink skimpy thong or some other style of erotic alluring attire but to each his own I suppose. Sir, on a future note, stay away from my ipad, seriously! I’d be weary of you trying to [removed] it. LMFAO @ ‘sexy.”

Firstly, I think Kindle is a much better screen for reading when there is light around. So let’s not put words in my mouth.

Secondly, iPad screen = Color + Touch + Readable at Night.
Kindle screen = readable in bright sunlight + better dpi + much better readability + better for the eyes.

So people can pick whatever they want.

Why does iPad win in the screen category if eInk is better for reading? Aren’t we comparing with respect to what’s better as an eReader? Beyond this particular function, iPad does lots of cool things. And I don’t see why touch is even relevant if we’re looking for better reading experience. I really like both, but as an eReader alone, Kindle seems a lot better (the biggest drawback is that it needs light if you’re in the dark — big drawback with iPad is that you cannot easily read it outside because it gets washed out — I think those are really the deciding factors if the weight isn’t an issue with respect to what’s better at this particular function).

Morgan, ask him to get you the $139 WiFi one now. He might agree to that.

I do like the review, however, you are judging an eReader vs. an iPad. I would only judge them as readers and not as a reader and a multipurpose devise as you are mixing the two up. When you are judging you are including the features of the iPad as mostly that and not just an eReader as that is what I thought the article was about.

You did include some very important aspects to the article and i found it quite informant!
