I’m still enamored with the iPad, but slightly more so after discovering the Kindle application. I’d considered buying a Kindle on recommendation from friends – one of whom pointed out the side benefit of free Internet browsing anywhere in the world, albeit with a limited browser. And while I did note the third-generation Kindle device release this week, in my opinion the iPad just eats it up.

I used the Kindle reader to acquire and devour the just-released Daniel Silva novel, “The Rembrandt Affair”, being surprisingly impressed with the user experience (as well as the price). I really struggle to get engaged with personal reading sometimes, always finding it hard to get really into a plot line. More importantly, I only get to read recreationally for a few minutes each day before I go to sleep, and what I thought would be a negative has turned to be a real positive.

The selection on Amazon for Kindle titles is quite respectable, and the immediate download is way more satisfying than trying to find a title in a bookstore.

I’m sure the Kindle device itself would have many of the same benefits…… But I don’t think you could switch to Wordpress mid-chapter to blog about the experience on a Kindle device.

While on an iPad, it’s surprisingly easy!
