Apple has surely plans to put its hands on Kindle dominated e-book reader market. Steve Jobs himself stated this during the famous iPad conference. iPad looks great with latest touch technology but lacks the sophistication to be the next Amazon Kindle. On the other hand, current iPad helped to bring awareness to evolve into more advanced devices for ebook reading.

The main difference between iPad and Amazon Kindle is Ink technology. While iPad doesn't actually provide it, Amazon Kindle tries to give natural book reading experience. We can conclude that Kindle is for more enthusiastic book readers, bookworms.

iPad, as a lightweight tablet with 9.7 inch touchscreen display still good for browsing Internet, watch movies if we ignore that it currently doesn't support Flash technology which is a serious lack. iPad follows the Apple's traditional price policy. Huge overpriced release, then step by step normalizing the price.

Currently, it is better to think that iPad is for casual fast reading like magazines. Overall, the price difference between Amazon Kindle and Apple iPad tablet is not much. If you aim to get more functionality except book reading, iPad can be a better choice for you.
