Much lighter, and the screen has no glare. Can be held easily in one hand whilst lying back. A much better device for reading than the iPad.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30287755/who-uses-a-kindle?post_id=540022289#540022289Dusty, I have both and the Kindle is far easier on the eyes to read for long periods.
