Will the Apple iPad kill the Kindle ?
Will the iPad Kill the Kindle? That's a question that lots of people have asked me since yesterday's Apple announcement. In many respects, it's representative of a belief that all markets are zero-sum: that for one to succeed, the other needs to fail. But I don't really believe that. Tablets and e-readers may well end up serving very different markets.

Of course, there's one way in which the iPad is likely to replace the Kindle, and that is as the hot gadget for early adopters. The Kindle just isn't that new any more. Regardless, to most people, the two devices seem very different.

You could think of the iPad as a superset device; it does e-book reading, plus other things. But there are reasons that a Kindle or another e-book reader might provide a better reading experience than an iPad, at least for the next couple of years.

To begin with, the screens are very different. The iPad uses an LED-backlit LCD screen (and Apple makes a big deal of this being an "IPS" screen, which means it uses the wide-viewing angle technology used primarily by LG Display and IPS Alpha). That means a backlight is always shining in your eyes, which some people find tiring. It's clearly better than a Kindle in a dark room, but tends to be hard to read in bright sunlight....

@jernizzle459 you can dim the backlight down, where its actually more comfortable than my kindle. and the 10 hrs thing is crap. Apple just says that so when it outlasts 10 hours they look good. maybe 10 hours of playing a game online, but reading a book, mine will last a good 2 days. I don't need 2 weeks. I just plug it in when I plug my phone in at night. What I'm trying to say is, I'm selling my Kindle on craigslist as we speak lol.

The kindle will not die in 2010. I do not care what you say. It has a backlight,which mean's you can't read for hour's on end and the battery life on the ipad suck's. You can go 2 week's on one charge with the kindle,while the ipad goes a maximum of 10 hour's. Unless the ipad had the capability to shut off the backlight while reading a book it will not kill the kindle.
