Today we are going to see the pros and cons of each choice, since they are much more different products than you think, and choosing one or the other can greatly change your experience both in reading and in the rest of the uses that you could give to the iPad (if you need them).
Kindle Vs iPad, what to choose?
The first thing we have to be clear about is that we want an e-book reader, since if we are thinking of more uses, the Kindle will not work for us, so we would mainly need it to read, although later, if we choose the iPad, Good for watching videos or surfing the web.
If we are really going to use it a lot as a reader, the Kindle will be your best friend, since it has points that an iPad will never surpass. Let’s see the positive and negative points of each of them.

As for the price of each of them, while we can get a Kindle on days like today, for 99 euros, an iPad is not going to go below 300, so it is something very important to take into account, especially in depending on our budget.
Regarding the rest of the points, it is clear that if you want an electronic book, the Kindle has no competition, since you can take those 200 grams anywhere and go weeks or months without having to charge it, no matter how many hours a day you use it. However, an iPad is more tiring on the eyes, the battery runs out sooner and its weight is greater, so if you are just looking to read a couple of comics, which you can do in full color, and browse the rest of the time, this It is your option, otherwise, for a good reading lover, a Kindle has no competition.
