The Kindle is by far the most popular and recognizable eReader, but how does it stack up against the competition. There are many options out there for eReaders. Make sure you do your research when making the decision on which one to buy.
Kindle vs Nook - This is probably the closest comparison of features. The advantage of the Kindle is a faster page turn, slightly clearer display, and more memory. The main advantage of the Nook is the ability to loan eBooks to friends and borrow eBooks from libraries that offer that service.
Kindle vs Sony Reader - The Sony Reader wins this battle if you feel more comfortable buying a Sony product. You will get the reliability and solid feel that you are used to with Sony, and the Reader is a good product. In every other category, however, the Kindle wins. The feature that makes this comparison not even close is the standard Wi-Fi and optional 3G offered by the Kindle. The only options you have to manage the ebooks on your Sony Reader is to connect it to a computer.
Kindle vs Kobo - Price vs features will be the determining factor in this fight. The Kobo is significantly cheaper, but is also has significantly fewer features. If all you're looking for is the cheapest eReader that allows you to read books then the Kobo might be for you. If you want anything more than that you need to check out the Kindle again.
Kindle vs iPad - This has become an increasingly popular debate, but it's not really comparing apples to apples. If the price were the same then the iPad would win this battle in a landslide, but for about $300 more than the Kindle, you need to decide if the iPad is what you want. The iPad is basically a computer that will also do everything the Kindle will do. You can actually run the Kindle app on the iPad so it really is almost the same when reading an eBook. The iPad, however can do so much more. The iPad is a revolutionary device, and if that is what you are interested in then you should definitely look into it. If you are purely looking for an eReader the iPad is overkill. The one positive the Kindle has regardless of price is the e-Ink display. Many people claim that e-ink screens are easier on their eyes.
That is how the Kindle compares to its main competitors. The fact is that it's hard to go wrong with a Kindle, but if you are looking for specific features or price points there might be other options to suit you better.
