:iagree:

This is why I chose the Kindle with ink technology even though we have an iPad. The iPad has turned out to be a great (yet expensive) toy and learning tool for the pre-schoolers, but I can't read anything other than a web page or two on it. I get migraines so have to take eye strain very seriously. I don't have any issues with the Kindle.
