I want to use a tablet for book reading (Kindle) but may like the added features of the Samsung or Ipad. Using it for email, Facebook etc and possibly to read mags such as this one, newspapers etc. Some discussion would be welcome.
Cheers
It really does depend on your priority. I have a Kindle and have never read so much!
Advantages of the Kindle...
1. Battery lasts 3 to 4 weeks on a charge
2. Easy to read in sunlight, in fact it gets clearer if anything
3. Perfect size and weight for a book
4. e-ink is much easier on the eyes than staring at a bright LCD panel
Disadvantages
1. Because it isn't lit, you need a light source. You can get a cover with one built in though.
2. It really is "only" a bok reader... internet browsing is at best awful.
By the way there are a few newspapers and magazines on Kindle already, although obviously not free
The other thing, it costs so little you could probably get both.
