iPad App Review: Kindle for iPad is A Killer App for the Kindle Killer
Intro: So, it arrived. Pretty packaging (what else would you expect from Apple?) surrounded the much-anticipated gadget. Opening the box, it does look a lot like a giant iPod Touch; the back of the device is made of the same sort of brushed aluminum that houses my MacBook Pro. But this is neither of these; this is the iPad. And here are my initial thoughts...
Final words: The Kindle app is fantastic, and using it on the very cool iPad really seems to leave the Kindle standalone a bit in the dust. I still think the Kindle is the best of the conventional eReaders out there. But the powerful combination of Apple technology with the iPad and Kindle’s bookstore and reading app make Kindle for iPad the most true-to-life reading experience I’ve had in any digital format. With the iPad priced at 9, only more than the large-scale Kindle DX, the iPad may well be the Kindle Killer.

Kindle for iPad
Intro: Apple's own iBooks has been the much heralded iPad e-reading app, but Amazon's competing e-book platform also has a free app: Kindle for iPad. It offers distinct advantages, such as having ten times more titles than iBooks, and a number of features not available in iBooks. On the downside, its books are even more proprietary than Apple's, which can at least come in the open EPUB standard...
Final words: If you can't find the book you're looking for, no e-reader doodad is going to help you. With about ten times as many books available, Kindle for iPad has a real selection advantage over iBooks, but Barnes & Noble even doubles that, and adds support for borrowing public library books. In addition to the larger book selection, Kindle for iPad offers a couple of advantages over iBooks, particularly its reverse text view and ability to hide the iPad status bar. If you had to decide right now on an e-reader for your iPad (and don't require color images or a built-in dictionary), I'd recommend the Kindle for iPad for its much larger selection and reading niceties.

Quick Review: Kindle on iPad
Intro: Kindle on iPad is, well, not as good as Kindle on a Kindle or iBooks. That’s going to be the bottom line for a lot of people...
Final words: With both Kindle and iBooks my basic feeling is that they’re good for light reading, but the difficulty of entering and exporting notes means that while I’ll use them for entertainment, I won’t use them for ‘serious’ work. Hopefully Amazon will update this app to support two-column landscape mode soon.

Kindle iPad App Review
Intro: With the release of the iPad and Apple's new iBookstore, a lot of so called analysts and experts like to speculate that Apple is now going to dominate the ebook industry the way they have the music industry...
Final words: All these factors make you wonder what these analysts are analyzing to already be digging a grave for Amazon and the Kindle in the ebook industry. The iPad is a marvelous machine, but that doesn't mean Apple's iBookstore is going to dominate the ebook market. Quite the contrary. With so many third-party apps available that offer the same ebooks—which can be viewed on multiple devices—I don't see how any informed person would choose to buy ebooks from Apple and be locked into just the iPad.
