Re: Kindle vs Nook?

LOL!

I tend to read in bed, or on the couch in the living room... and the 
odds of my iPad falling into water are slim to none.

There's somethingthing I find really nice about reading on iPad that I 
didn't think of prior to purchase...  no need for a reading light.  I 
can be on a dark plane, bus, car or train...  or I can be in my bedroom 
with the lights off.  The thing provides it's own light.

I also don't have to go to the library/store to get a new book.  I tend 
to do a lot of stuff in the middle of the night, and this is much more 
convenient for me.

I also don't have to worry about having a bookmark handy, or losing my 
place in the book... it keeps track of that for me.  (Though, I can mark 
pages if I want to go back to them later.)

I'll admit, reading books was not one of the main reasons I bought an 
iPad to begin with.  I never expected to like using it to read books. 
But, I do...  in fact, it's now one of my favorite features.
