When iPad was revealed by Apple since then many have been proclaiming and prophesying death of most famous ebook reader kindle . However a close analysis of these two devices suggest competition from Kindle will not be a cakewalk for iPad and might leave Apple hurt.

On a technical analysis there is no doubt iPad is a better piece of technology than Kindle . Apart from a good battery backup of Kindle ( a week long on a estimate) there is nothing to be compared to iPad . iPad’s display , its wide array of technological achievements and also its storage capacity which is Eight times more than Kindle leaves it long back in this marathon.

Kindle was made specifically for text based application , some static puzzle games and not a good video device . On the other hand iPad is offering all the applications that are supported on iPhone and also some new made custom applications for iPad . Again Kindle loses on this front .

But the Secret weapon of Kindle is its Price and also its durability . Most basic model of Kindle is half as cheap as the basic model of iPad which is Priced at 499$ ( basic model) . Kindle Dx is currently priced at 489 $ and is just 10 $ cheap as iPad but the catch is Kindle Dx provides 3G whereas iPad don’t . Yes sounds unbelievable but is true . To get a 3G on iPad you will have to pay at least 629$.

This is worrying enough for Apple .Also Amazon’s 3G is provided free but there is nothing much you can do with it . But speaking on simple terms fact is Kindle Dx is killed . Although Kindle is offering some new features on Dx but this is already looking like a lost war .
