Kindle, Nook, Ipad?

    I need the help of the readers in the room! There are very few, if any, threads about this. So what do you all use? I'm a frequent reader who is usually between 3-6 books at any given time. I also have a lot of [black and white] PDFs and ebooks to go through. What would you choose?


     I don't need another laptop. The kindle is easiest on the eyes from what I hear. It's also only $179.

    For reading eBooks I would go for iPad anyday.
    Since, you are a frequent reader, so it's better you acknowledge your thirst for reading by purchasing an expensive gadget :)

    I've never tried the ipad, but my wife has the kindle and mother in law has the nook, between them 2 i'd gofor the kindle, i was impressed by how clear and easy to read the screen is even in direct sunlight, even better than a real book i'd say, the nook my mother in law has doesn;t look as good in sunlight

    The Nook seems to beat the Kindle right now.

    The Ipad screen offers crystal clear text. Go for it!

    I currently use a Kindle. I cannot read for more than 20 minutes on my iPad.
