With the IPAD 1 being sold at $300/350. and it does everything a Kindle or Nook does plus the web, email etc. Why pay $165.+ for a Nook or Kindle. I have both apps. on my IPAD, backlit, wi-fi, 16G. I can lay in bed at night and answer all of my emails, I charge it twice a week, because I use it alot. I couldn't live without it. My schedule and journal are on it plus pictures of all of my quilts. It's like a diary on steroids. LOL
