No doubt and they already have publishers lined up. A lot will depend on the price point of the iPad as it really is just a full color kindle that can surf the web and answer email. Then again if you can download books to your kindle from iBooks they really are in for some competition.

WOW Apple releases an overpriced POS with proprietary crap and somehow people love this shit. AMAZING. God forbid one could get their material from somewhere else other than Apple. See Mr Jobs this is why I don't buy your shit. See me the device. IF your price on the content is competitive I will buy. Don't rape me into buying your shit. GOOD products NEVER have to do that.

Why the facepalm? Amazon made it to market first.

Mac stuff is not as entrenched as people think. I was a huge iPod fan, but have since started using my Phone as an mp3 player, and haven't bought music from iTunes in a year(I use Amazon). I actually gave away $60 iTunes gift cards I got for xMas.

I know several other people who have gone the same route. Don't be so sure that everyone's just going to jump ship from Kindle because Apple came out with something.

How about an iPad at $499. That is the price. Seems reasonable to me.

GatorB, when you've stopped dining on your foot I'd be interested in your opinion on the price. The base model is only $10 more than a Kindle DX, offers 16GB instead of 3, is in color, and offers a LOT more than books.

I imagine you will be waiting for a while.

It's cool. Little haters like him are needed to balance out Jobs' Reality Distortion Field.

I want an iPad though.

Somehow i doubt it replaces the kindle, the ipad doesnt have digital ink which makes it something a bit different than kindle. If anything i see the gadgets as allowing some overlap, there will be people who own both and those that own one or the other.

IPad looks cool but digital ink supposedly offers a superior reading experience.

What's the appeal of this thing? Isn't it just a giant, overpriced Ipod touch?

Hell, they are talking about how it is the best way to browse the Internet, and the piece of shit doesn't even support flash.

This is what I clicked on those thread to post

The iPad may be many things, but it is not a digital reader.

No kidding.

The incredible hypocrisy is that it's the same idiots who cried about Microsoft years ago who are now happily buying into Jobs' gadgets. It's all about the packaging, I guess.
