I partially agree and don't see why you were downvoted. If you don't want to browse the web, then the Kindle's screen is far superior for reading. The Kindle needs more speed, better resolution, and a better interface for hopping around in a book, but I always put it in my suitcase when I travel, and given the choice between reading a novel on the Kindle versus reading a novel on a beautiful bright color tablet like the iPad, I would choose the Kindle. A tablet that has an e-ink mode will have a very large advantage in my book.
