I have gone through all sorts of eReaders since they first came out, including the Kindle, which I gave to my sister once I got the basic iPad.

The iPad wins for the following reasons. I like to read in bed at night, and the Kindle is hard to read that way, unless you have a much better light than the little one they sell. The iPad is perfect for that.

I can sync books between my iPad, my iPhone, and my laptop, having a copy on each.

I can sync & listen to an Audible book on all three as well. I like to knit while I listen, so I can be productive while listening.

I can shop around for the best price on a book I want to read, seeing if Amazon, Apple, eReader, or any other seller is cheapest. The apps are available for just about any version.

I can check my email, look something up on the net that I am reading about, and take notes. I can listen to all kinds of radio stations on my iPad, like Coast to Coast AM, when I can’t sleep at night. Love the “Iheartradio” app!

And, I can watch movies, tv shows, etc. on my iPad, and take my knitting patterns along in “GoodReader”, a pdf app.

There is more, but you get the picture. I really find the iPad the best, so far. And, like all Apple products, it is easy to use, easy to keep updated, and beautifully designed.

Sounds like my wife.
Are you getting C2C podcast or a freebie way?
