New My folks have Kindles
and they love them. A big part of it for them is they live in Trinidad and they have a hard time finding books, and what few books they find are really expensive (used books there cost more than new books in the states). They also travel quite a bit and really like having all their books in one small package.

I tried them out for a few weeks (they were shipped to my house before their visit in the fall). I quite liked them, but decided not to get one as I plan to get a rev 2 iPad.

As Mike points out, the iPad can read books from anybody:

iBooks app
http://itunes.apple..../id364709193?mt=8

Nook app (Barnes & Noble)
http://itunes.apple..../id373582546?mt=8

Kindle app
http://itunes.apple..../id302584613?mt=8

Borders app
http://itunes.apple..../id368067444?mt=8

and more - do a search on "ereader".

New Research
I will definitely do some research, but I'd rather hear from a group of friends. :-)

The reviews I always take with a tablespoon of salt... Toss out glowing and horrible to see if I can find the truth.

Youse guys I trust...

Thanks all.

And if you haven't added you 2 pf yet, feel free (that's 2 pfennigs) oops, does Germany still have their own currency? If not, change that to 2 cents.

Happy New Year all.

and more - do a search in the iTunes App Store on "ereader" to see the other eBook apps.

This sort of marketing only works with clothes, oddly enough.
