The experience of an aching wrist after a few hours of reading a good book?
The experience of the book closing when you go to make a snack, and losing your page?
Or perhaps the experience of trying to turn to the next page of a broadsheet newspaper on a crowded train?

It really depends what the experience you are looking for is. Mine is interpreting the funny little squiggles and marks that deface the pristine paper. But then I'm a bit weird like that. If you want to sniff and fondle paper. Go for it. As fetishes go, pretty harmless.

For text books and manuals, no argument. Paper books are far superior solutions. Random access on e-books sucks.Will for several more years at the very least.

For pleasure reading, if the thing you are reading from even registers, then the book has failed to engage. Simple as that.]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/]]>Jun 28th 2010 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/I read on my iPad while lying down almost every night. I've yet to find the 1.5 lb iPad "too heavy to hold".

Also...I'd say the kindle has the obvious advantage in terms of selection, but the iBooks app really does a great job of re-creating the book experience. Kindle app just feels like reading a computer screeen as usual.]]>Jun 28th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/Jun 28th 2010 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/Jun 28th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/Yeah, I'm surprised we don't have it yet.

Im surprised apple allows the kindle app still seeing that they have their iBook store that competes with it. I hope sometime in the future they allow an alternative for music and movies such as zune pass. I know its a lot to hope for but that would be a big win for consumers.]]>Jun 28th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/Jun 28th 2010 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/amazon-kindle-editions-with-video-and-audio-added-to-iphone-ip/Well they run the danger of getting their app "rejected" from Apples app store - such is the risk when developing for the iphone.

Although it probably won't happen as Amazon is big and rich with many lawyers.

This is an acknowledgement of the popularity of the apple platform and they'll soon release hardware compatible with all their book features.
