Recently finished the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson. Currently reading It's not about the bike by Lance Armstrong. This is the first Non-Fiction I am about to finish. I am enjoying reading it. Will start a Micheal Chrichton Book after this.

Read Around the world in 80 days on iPad.

iBooks 2 > Kindle.

I have been reading on the iPad since a long time. I even transferred all the research papers I need to study to the iPad :D.

Anyways, started with the Game of Thrones series (A Song of Ice and Fire series as it is officially called). The show is mind-blowing but the book is better than that. Another book I am reading is the Language Instinct by Steven Pinker. Pretty good non-fiction.

You cannot compare iPad with Kindle. Two totally different things.

Comparing iBooks to Kindle. Not iPad. And my comment was on e-reading experience. Haven't used the Kindle Touch yet, but Kindle classic is definitely below iBooks for me.

uh you can use kindle purchases on the iPad, dont see the conflict here at all, what is the prolem really/?

worst case scenario is either reading in the afternoon sun outdoors (kindle trumps) or reading in the dead of the night at odd angles indoors (kindle trumps again)

but an iPad is fine too, lil bulky, manageable... just about

anyway, read DROOZLE, short read, shud be avlbl for free
