Recently, I got an iPad, so I can read books on both. I use the Apple iBooks app for both reading and purchasing, but I have the Kindle software installed on both.

Right now, I find that the Kindle book store is easier to use than the Apple store, and the prices are usually better. For anyone not aware, a company called Mobile Reference has compiled books containing (almost) ALL of certain authors, such as Charles Dickens, for under $5. All of these works are in public domain, but they add value by putting them in one file, with table of contents for jumping to particular works and chapters. I highly recommend them.

One more nice feature of both the Kindle and iBooks software. I can read something on my iPad, then switch to the iPhone, where I’ve downloaded the same book. They are both synched automatically, so wherever I leave off on one, I pick up on the other. Magic!
