The price is a bit more expensive but you do not NEED to have a wireless plan and if you are only using it for reading, you can easily have no plan. As for the price, it is a good point and I'm predicting that Apple will reduce its price later this year. Research showed it about about 215$ for Apple to make the Ipad so it could easily take the price down. @Francois – I am becoming more and more convinced of the superior Ipad.

Just want to add for battery life: - iPad run up to ten hours between charges - Kindle for one week!!! But with a better screen I guess the time utilization would not be the same! A controversy debate

Not OK for price:
- iPad costs from $499 to 829$, plus $130 extra for 3G modem and $30 a month for unlimited wireless access.

OK for touch screen:

- Kindle’s black and grey screen looks OLD!

Just want to add for battery life:
- iPad run up to ten hours between charges
- Kindle for one week!!! But with a better screen I guess the time utilization would not be the same!

But to be a big success, I think they need for the product to be superior as well Actually, the Kindle is not much cheaper than the Ipad! Amazon is rumored to have purchased a company to help with its touch screen technology today... but that seems a bit late to do don't you think? 3-Yes, I think Amazon does have some problems if it focuses too much on the Kindle and its book value. It has so much more to offer so focusing too much on that battle could hurt badly in my opinion @Francois – Yes, and that is what instantly puts them in the game when launching the product… just because millions will buy it because it’s Apple.

It's cool to have one of the Apple products: iShuffle or iPod, iMac and eventually iPad, 2- About the product iPad vs Kindle, it depends about who you really are. If you are an eReader, better take Kindle for it's price, in reading books, in getting books and mostly in focusing in readings!! 3- About the future of Amazon, I am not too sure what's their vision. I think for the moment it's the investor perception that drives Amazon' market price... And I'm not too sure the investors are confident for the moment... Do you agree? 3 points I would like to comment:
