I was just chatting with an old friend yesterday, he tends to buy new shiney things as much as I do. He's had a Kindle for quite some time, (he does a lot of long flights in his work) and loves it. He just bought an ipad, and loves it also, but says that there's definitely an eyestrain difference between it and the Kindle. After an hour of reading on the ipad, something about the backlight has the eyes aching much moreso than the kindle. Just something to consider. I was at first expecting him to ditch the kindle entirely, but he's keeping it for when he wants to read.
