As digital books gain more popularity, there is a growing market of competitors for the dominant Kindle. One of these competitors is the Apple iPad. With a reputation for being capable of almost anything a computer can do, the iPad is indeed one of Kindle’s main rivals. But what do customers have to say about using the iPad as an e-reader? You might be surprised to find that the reviews are quite mixed.

Many users are not fond of how the iPad’s screen functions. Glare can occur from any angle, and the resulting eyestrain can be quite uncomfortable. However, while this is a persistent complaint, many of these same users are still impressed with the graphics that the Kindle currently cannot match. In fact, if you eliminate the glare and sit in a dark room, the iPad’s screen outshines the Kindle.

Nevertheless, one feature greatly helps the iPad stand out. It can read multiple types of e-book formats. The iPad can download and run a Kindle application, providing readers with a wide range of access. Other e-readers simply do not offer this option. Moreover, when you combine this with the iPad’s touch screen technology, many users are excited. It has become yet another point in favor of the iPad.

Another complaint, although it may seem like a minor inconvenience, is the weight of the iPad. Other e-readers are lighter and more compact. The Kindle, for example, weighs practically nothing and can be held in any position without much effort. The iPad, as one reviewer describes it, can give you quite a workout if you are carrying it close to your face on a crowded commuter train.
