You know what I love about the kindle? That it doesn't close like a normal book. I love that I never have to hold the book open with two hands or awkwardly with one hand. I can rest the device on a table and not have to hold it open with one hand and eat with my other. If I want to flip a page I just press a button with my pinky instead of using all of my fried-chicken-grease filled fingers. It makes reading SO much easier.
@Ruben Actually I own the iPad also and find reading on it to be a much better experience still despite the heavier weight. The DX, at $379, is way too high considering you can pick up the iPad, which is much, much more functional for $120 more.
@herbie00 can understand prefering the wider variety of functions iPad offers, but reading alone? How? iPad is a lot heavier, the screen doesn't provide fonts anywhere near as sharp as Kindle does, it's useless outdoors and has low battery life. I honestly don't see how you could consider reading on iPad to be better experience.
Reading in iPad isn't any different really than reading on any decent laptop.

@herbie00 Don't forget that its light as hell. The iPad is uncomftorably heavy.

@AdrianWerner Sorry for the confusion. I was comparing reading on the iPad to reading a book.
