This may be a stupid question: If you have an iPad do you need a Kindle? Thanks...
It depends on what you want to do.
If you want the best eReader for books, get the kindle touch. If you want to have access to the internet (and apps?) too, then the iPad.
I have a tablet and an eInk reader. The tablet floats around the house as a general factotum, ready to pay bills, look up recipes, or entertain me as I load the dishwasher. By nightfall the battery is nearly dead and it goes on the charging stand to act as alarm clock, and alternate television for me when my husband watches a late sports game in the bedroom.
The reader generally lives in my purse for whenever I can snatch reading time while out and about. It charges for maybe half an hour at a time in the car, when I think about it, and it’s never died on me.
Depends what you want to use it for. Like I said, I only wanted something for reading. So I got the Kindle Touch. The iPad does so much more so you can’t really compare the two. The Kindle Fire is more like an iPad.
