If you have ask me several months ago, I must say if you are looking for the ebook reader go and you are an out door reader go for Kindle DX. And if you are looking for magazine reader and you are indoor reader go for IPad.

But since Apple released their IPad 2. I think the result might not be the same as several months ago. First of all, I have to admitted that reading PDF files on Kindle DX is not comfortable. It’s very hard to use a zoom and pan function on 5 way navigator stick and also Kindle DX has a very slow processor to process your command such as zoom in or change your font size on adjustable PDF.
Second of all, IPad 2 is Apple’s big improvement on IPad. I think IPad 2 screen is not as hard on my eyes as IPad 1 and also with the slimness and lighter weight, carry IPad 2 in my hands almost feels like holding Kindle DX in my hands (which it is noticeable different weight with IPad 1). So the only bad thing about IPad 2 to use it as ebook reader is it LCD screen can not be read on direct sunlight. I mean it. And if you think you’ll solve this problem by buying IPad 2 antiglare screen protector. I have to say by far. I have not yet found the screen protector that was not destroy my IPad using experience.
So before getting one of Kindle DX Graphite you have to ask yourself if you are really need to buy e-ink reader in the year that is the rise of tablet. But as I always mentioned if you are looking for the ebook reader to use it to “read book” Kindle DX is one of the best ebook reader that I’ve ever use. You will love it.
