iPhone beats out Kindle...apples and oranges IMO - samintx - 10-02-2008 http://www.forbes.com/2008/10/02/stanza-kindle-iphone-tech-personal-cx_ag_ja_1002stanza.html?partner=yahootix How can this comparison even have meaning. The Kindle is so much better for reading than the iPhone or iTouch it is silly to compare them. Re: iPhone beats out Kindle...apples and oranges IMO - TiUser - 10-02-2008 Well, they are comparing them as e-book readers. I use both and like the Kindle much better as a reading device. The screen is much better for the eyes and buying books is a snap. I used Stanza on the iPhone for a while, but stopped because I didn't find it compelling enough as a dedicated reader. Re: iPhone beats out Kindle...apples and oranges IMO - cbelt3 - 10-02-2008 The age of the reviewer is important, IMHO. My 50 year old eyeballs have trouble reading on the small screen. But I still prefer the tactile experience of a paper book. Screen reading just doesn't have that sensual feel to it. |
