For you perhaps; I prefer reading on an iPad. It doesn't bother my eyes, and it doesn't make it difficult to sleep. Maybe the fact that I don't typically read outside makes some difference here.

Probably, I tried the other weekend to read a kindle book on my ipad outside.

Yeah not happening with sunlight at all. Not sure how the kindle works out there, but the glossy ipad might as well have been a mirror.

Still, the difference is staggeringly: staring at a lightbulb vs a surface.

They're different, sure; I prefer staring at the lightbulb, apparently.

You guys are funny. It's simple: Kindles are better for books and iPads are better for magazines and color.

Better in that they're worse, you mean?
