The iPad Boom

One week ago I had the chance to test an iPad. It was a great experience. It did what the TV commercials said it would do. However, some things were a little bit different. The main reason why I wanted to test the iPad was that I wanted to see how good of an e-reader it would be. I own a Kindle 2 and have been reading my books and favorite websites on it.

I downloaded a couple free books from the iBooks store and started reading. I also installed the Kindle App to browse through a couple of my old books.

Reading during the daylight was okay. However, it still felt like I would be reading from a TFT display and the iPad was kind of heavy. At night, the bright display was on my eyes.

Besides that fact that I could not visit some of the web-sites that I like because of the old Flash problem, the iPad was fun to use. If you are planning on buying a fun gadget the iPad is for you. If you want to buy an e-reader, I personally would still recommend the Kindle.
