The Kindle takes the book/publishment you want to read and lets you focus entirely on that. No flashy page curls, no notifications, hell not even a clock to see what time it is. It's wonderful in that sense. The e-ink is also a nice benefit, my eyes _never_ hurt from reading on my Kindle.<p>I think the iPad has a good idea going with iBooks and I hope they eventually do magazines as magazines are very media-heavy but I don't see it taking over the Kindles growing book environment.
