Why I don't think I'd like eBooks on an iPad …

Click through to this link and check out the glare on that sucker: Using the iPad as an eBook Reader.  It seems a lot more like a computer screen than any of the dedicated eBook readers, which I don’t think I would like.  When I read on my Kindle I don’t get that feeling that I get when I’ve been looking at a computer screen all day.  In addition, I use my finger to trace under lines of text, so I don’t think I completely sold on having a touch screen on an eBook reader, though I guess there might be some way to disable that and tap the side of the screen like on the iPhone Kindle app.

Okay. Do I sound like I’m trying to talk myself out of an iPad?  Actually, I’d probably like to have an iPad, just not for its capacity for reading eBooks.

Bad Picture Choice for the iPad?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the picture of the iPad that Apple used on its site doesn’t seem like a good one.  I think it’s probably a meteor shower or something, but subconsciously I guess the image looks a lot like scratches.  My first reaction was,”Man that thing looks like it would get scratched all to heck.”  Of course they’ll make screen protectors, but I HATE using screen protectors.

Anyway check out the picture and see what you think.  Or, look at the original image here iPad.
