And you should see the color - incredible!! If you can hold out, I think it will be worth the wait for the iPad.<br /><br />Beth, all the Kindle does is function as an eReader. This thing can hold your entire music library, half of your movies, connect to the Internet (which means watching NetFlix movies and listening to Pandora), hold all your digital photos, etc. You can get apps for games, too. And there's an app called Pages which functions as a word processing program. So you can write on the go and then download to your computer later. All it lacks is a hard drive and Flash capability.<br />Oh, and the image quality is beyond amazing!Alex J.

But it is way beyond a Kindle, because it has all the capabilities of the iTouch and iPhone, plus more. So if you add it up, purchasing the iPad is cheaper than buying an eReader AND an iTouch.
