Kindle DX vs iPad : Which One is Yours?
Despite some predictions in early 2010 that ebook readers can be on their last legs as a must-have consumer devices, watches ebook reading devices as they will be sticking around for much longer. In fact eReader for ever against an entity should be responsible for their premature death – Apple iPad.
IPad vs DX Kindle this fight puts the two big screen ebook readers a heads up battle against each other. Yes, we are not forgetting that iPad is a tablet in the first place but with all respect to iPad with other eBook readers is done, but should match it against the eReader that is level, well at least size-wise, which is the Amazon Kindle DX.
Size
The physics of iPad and DX Kindle is about the same size. While there are some differences – the Kindle is a bit ‘more and iPad has a little’ more in width, depth and weight – you should not feel that much difference between possession of a device or another.
Display
The two entities have exactly the same screen size, 9.7-inch diagonal, but the technologies are so different as day and night. A backlight LED full screen color of IPS iPad would really overshadow kindle e-ink screen with 16 shades of gray, it seems rather bland. But while the LCD iPad is a must for activities that require color (watching movies, web browsing, etc.), sports Kindle e-ink screen is also perfect for reading without glare, and remove the eyes. And that’s what you buy, mostly for eReader?
User Interface
iPad screen also uses touch screen technology, and again, the experience of being able to browse the galleries of photos or web pages, or play interactive games with a flick of the fingers are incomparable. On the other hand, the kindle supports the push-button, a 5-way navigation button and a physical keyboard for navigation. Not exactly the fastest or the most modern of doing things, but it works with Kindle is simple, the perfect image.
Battery life
E-ink trumps LCD however, when it comes to battery efficiency. Compared to the Amazon device 2 to 3 weeks of battery life, the iPad only last for about 10 hours without recharging.
Price
The Kindle DX is currently priced at $ 379 while the 16GB version of iPad start at $ 499 and $ 629 for the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi alone with 3G models, respectively. DX has no Wi-Fi, but who needs one when you get 3G for free? We must also remember that with a 3G model with iPad, you must also allocate about $ 15 to $ 30 dollars more per month on data plan.
kindle DX vs iPad : Which unit comes out on top?
Well, it really depends on the list is referenced. iPad tablet is still beating, and DX Kindle is without doubt one of the best dedicated eBook readers on the market today. While iPad ebook reading features are great for navigating through the color and image quality packed with content such as magazines, children’s books, cookbooks, have e-ink technology, reading Kindle DX experience offers.
