Amazon's Kindle Tops CR E-Book Reader Ratings: Consumer Reports http://pressroom.consumerreports.org/pressroom/ - 0 views

  • The Apple iPad as an E-Book Reader Consumer Reports did not include the Apple iPad in its e-reader Ratings because it is a computer with e-book capabilities, not a dedicated e-book reader.  The iPad’s iBook app, one of at least three available for the device, offers fast page turns, with a dazzling virtual image one page curling back to reveal another, and the full-color screen is more eye-catching than the monochrome displays on the e-book readers.  Type  on  its LCD touch screen is fine, though it is slightly less crisp than that of the best e-book readers.  Compared to the most expensive e-book reader tested, Amazon’s Kindle DX, $490, Apple’s iPad is more expensive costing $500 and up and substantially heavier at 24 ounces versus the Kindle DX’s weight of 19 ounces.  Consumer Reports recommends buying the iPad for e-books only if consumers are willing to compromise to get a multifunction device.

Digital document annotation on iPad, iPod Touch, or laptop | Dangerously Irrelevant - 1 views

  • So far, so good. The process basically works like a traditional highlighter. Every time I sync the Kindle app with Amazon’s server, my notes and highlights show up on all of my other devices too. I don’t have to lug multiple, heavy books around. I can just carry my ultralight laptop, my svelte iPad, or my pocket-size iPod Touch and have access to my reading and the accompanying highlights / notes. As Will noted in his post, the beauty of all of this, however, is that Amazon also makes available a web site where you can see all of your Kindle notes and highlights. I can even see an aggregation of others’ highlights if I wish (which is pretty cool).
