I've not tried the Retina Ipad mini yet, but from reading on tablets in general they all feel like I am reading on a tablet. With my paperweight it actually feels like I am reading a book. Now that said technical oriented stuff I will take a tablet over a kindle everyday of the week. Thats 100% subjective, and not having used the new Mini perhaps it really is that good.

It will be interesting to compare the two after extended use. This video attempts to do so, with only decent results: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZbRd93f7p4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D9ZbRd93f7p4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZbRd93f7p4&desktop_uri=%2Fwat...

Ive used the kindle dx and the regular last generation non-touch kindle in addition to the ipad air. The air is spectacular for reading programming books and the reading experience is great for anything else, especially when you need to look something up. iBooks will sync bookmarks and notes for 'sideloaded' epubs and will automatically transfer new books onto the air. For PDFs the kindle app is great because it actually shows the table of contents(!).
