still, with everybody and his dog having an IPad, it's only a matter of time........

My sister got the nook and it does everything the ipad does just is smaller. Lots cheaper as well. So is the Kindle.

The old kindle looks like a good way to find really obscure books and read them without hurting your eyes (computer screens aren't eye friendly). I thought the whole e-ink idea was a pretty good one. It's a shame people won't buy it because they can't use facebook on it.

It seems that a lot of people don't realize that smartphones and tablets are used for more than social networking. They actually offer many other great, useful features.

edit: I thought the iPad has an e-ink app but I'm not sure. I don't have any kind of tablet.

Highly unlikely - the magnetic ink system that the kindle uses is rather different to the diodes that touch screen devices use. An app wouldn't fix that.

In slightly related news, it seems Siri has a Competitor, finally. Personally I'm rather thankful that someone has stepped up to the block, as it means I no longer feel obliged to get an iPhone of some sort just for siri :P
