iPad Effects Amazon Kindle 2 Sales
The release of the iPad was a pretty big roll out, but did it really effect sales of the Amazon Kindle 2?
No, not at all. Most people who are wanting to read books and read them where ever they are, know that the iPad only offers a WiFi connection and from the recent reports, the iPad is even having problems connecting to these networks. The Amazon Kindle 2 offers multiple network connections and has coverage world wide, not just in WiFi hot spots like the iPad offers. The amount of books available on the Kindle network is huge compared to the small library overred on the iPad.
Yes, the iPad does have a color screen, but how does having color help with text? Well, it does not. Actually having the glossy screen makes reading harder. That is the only reason that the Amazon Kindle 2 is black and white, these colors and the no-glare screen make the display look closest to a real books page possible. So if you are trying to make a decision on which device to get, if you are an avid reader, the Kindle is still the best in it's class.
