That's not bad... the Kindle lasts about two weeks even with heavy use, so they've still got that going for them. Amazon has the massive library and the delivery model pretty much nailed. But like usual, Apple has scored on form factor and design. I'd like to try one out. I don't know if it's a kindle-killer just yet.
But Kindle, which I considered, shows no graphics ... no photographs or illustartions in books and newspapers. And it is black and white.
iPad is full color.
