Over the last 15 or so years, the digital revolution has changed the way we go about acquiring and taking in various forms of media. The first big hit was the DVD. Next came mp3's, now it's e-books and e-book readers. The Amazon Kindle sits king among purpose-built e-book readers. Recently, it's seen a challenge from one of the most revolutionary multi-purpose gadgets to come along since the Swiss Army Knife, the Apple iPad.
To make a side-by-side comparison of these products is difficult, and frankly unfair to both products: one is a specialized tool, the other a jack of all trades. Each offers distinct advantages that the other could never hope, or even want, to replicate. The real comparison here should be between users, and which device is right for a certain user.
The Kindle is THE e-book reader. It doesn't pretend to be a computer, and focuses on trying to improve upon the experience of reading a book by adding the benefits of the digital world. That means it is centered around displaying easy to read, black and white text. It can store a tremendous amount of books, has a battery that will last longer than any user can read in one sitting, and incorporates wireless technology to rapidly deliver new content as the reader demands it. It's mainly intended to draw upon Amazon.com's extensive e-book store for books, magazines, and newspapers. It does allow users to add their own content via PDFs and text files, but they don't always translate onto the screen so well.
The iPad is a very capable mobile computer. It is somewhat larger and heavier than the Kindle, making it feel less like a paperback book and more like a smaller coffee table picture book. It's strengths lie in its versatility. It can display almost any type of content the user can find. Not only is it able to draw upon Apple's rapidly advancing bookstore, but users can download apps from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble, allowing them to have access to every available title in any of the three stores. This is a feature that the Kindle and Nook will never be able to replicate. However, this versatility is also a hindrance. Not only is its much higher price off-putting for users only concerned with reading text, the prospect of having a quiet moment with a great novel interrupted by someone's juvenile Facebook posting can be a little disheartening.
The real choice comes down to the user. For someone who is looking to have a product that does many things with great ease, and might only have small to moderate reading habit, the iPad is a great choice. For a user who is looking to have a device that replicates reading their favorite paperback as closely as possible and wants to enjoy the digital benefits of wireless delivery plus the ability to carry around an entire library, they can't go wrong with the Kindle.

With Ereaders like Kindle & iPad on the market, will book stores and newsprint quickly disappear?
My friend said he went to the Barnes & Noble store for a book and was told that it was out of stock, but could be shipped to him for $16.95; or he could download it on Kindle for $5.00.
Newsprint is already having some pretty big issues. Whether it will survive or how is up in the air at this point. The same really goes for B&N. They put the mom and pop stores out of business and now e-readers may put it out of business, but honestly I doubt that print media in and of itself will die. Books will always be carried by wal-mart and company, its just a question of whether or not actual book stores can survive.
