I could sure use one of those instead of my Nook e-ink reader that needs a clip-on light. I seem to have misplaced the light.
Oh well, another item on the to-do list. Find the darn thing and then stitch a pocket for it onto the sleeve I had made for the reader!I use both my ipad mini and my kindle. The kindle is great for reading outside or in situations where it might get dirty while the ipad is a great bedside reader as I can check my email and twitter and whatnot while I'm reading. Both have their uses for different situations.
+1. The Kindle Paperwhite is awesome, and does two things. First, it lets me read everywhere, with a sharp screen and very light weight. Second, without the distractions of the iPad (Infinity Blade!) I can read more.
When I want to read a book, I reach for my Kindle. I love my iPad, but eReading is not its strongest suit.

I was going to get an ipad mini for my 6yr old even though I don't personally like the screen. But thinking I'll cancel that as well. I had considered the Fire HD but decided against it but with the 2.99 a month unlimited kids' content, it seems like a nobrainer now.
Looks like I'll be getting her a Fire HD, and perhaps an ipad 4 for myself later but don't need as much storage since she'll have her own tablet.

Here is a link to the content that is available for the Amazon program. Looks nice, but it is geared toward younger children. I don't think that my 12-year-old son would enjoy most of the stuff.
ive been using my mini just because its new and shiny but when that dust settles i'll move back to my kindle paperwhite
I only find that problem with Safari. I use Mercury and adjust the text size and even Chrome, which doesn't have the option for text sizing, but has better text rendering than Safari. Not sure if it can fixed with an iOS update or not.
For all around use I like my iPad 4.
For portability I like my iPad mini.
For the Android experience I like my Nexus 7.
For eBook reading I greatly prefer my Kindle Paperwhite.
I've become very fond of tablets in just a short time.

I find myself reading most on my iPhone 5 nowadays, since its easy for me to read a couple pages here and there throughout the day without having to carry a separate device. I have the Kindle 4 and iPad 3 as well, but always goes back to reading on my iPhone, and the 4" and verticle scrolling helps.
Guess I'll try Chrome then. Mercury goes wacky on occasion with no keyboard available. I tried Perferct Browser but on some sites text runs into each other.
On my gf's mini I just use Safari in landscape for web browsing.
