"It's been another exciting match here in our long-running Faceoff Series, where two competing services, apps or devices are pitted against each other for a fight to the finish. In this edition, we pitted relative newcomer Apple iBooks against its most significant rival, Amazon's Kindle, to see who would win over the hearts and minds of Mashable readers.\nThe results are now in, and it looks like Amazon might have something to worry about down in Cupertino. Apple iBooks bested the Amazon Kindle with 48% of the vote to the Kindle's 36%. Still a close race overall, Apple's victory is rendered even more impressive considering how recently it entered the digital books arena. \nInterestingly, the \"Neither: I prefer my books in analog format, thanks\" option in the poll received a respectable 11% of the total vote, showing that a good chunk of digital natives still prefer it old skool style when it comes to books.\nWere you surprised by the results from this week's faceoff? Let us know in the comments.
