So as a reminder, before a trip, charge your devices! Price
You rarely have to charge it so by the time it needs a charge, you already forgot to plug it in. This may sound silly but one downside with having something like the Kindle, that has a long battery life, is that you always forget to charge it. It is far from beautiful but that is how it gets such a long battery life. With the Kindle, it uses an e-ink display.

With the iPad you are getting a beautiful high definition display and the hardware and software combined does a great job making that battery last as long as physics allow. Regardless of how you use the devices, you can see that the Kindle destroys the iPad, as far as battery is concerned. Of course, what you are doing on the device will make that number vary big time.Īmazon tells us that the Kindle Paperwhite under certain backlight settings will get you around 28 hours. BatteryĪpple tells us that the iPad will get around 10 hours of use. With all of the distractions in the technology world today, sometimes you need that break from it all. If you have your texts and iMessages coming through, you are distracted by that. With the iPad you deal with notifications from all of the apps on the device. The Kindle is an e-reader and that is about it. As far as a device that does it all, the iPad gets that check mark. So if you have books purchased on either store, you have access to them. You can use the Kindle or iBook store on the iPad. The fact that you can take this device everywhere and do the things you can do with it, is incredible. When I am not in school, the iPad becomes my computer. If you know anything about the iPad, you know that it can do pretty much everything your phone can do and can sometimes replace your need for an actual computer or laptop. If you are a reader who likes to read hours at a time, the Kindle will definitely be the more attractive option for you. This will be a dealbreaker for mostly everyone if you are looking for a standalone e-reader. As you can see, the iPad Air 2 weighs more than double that of the Kindle. The iPad Air 2 weighs in at 437 grams while the Kindle Paperwhite weighs 205 grams. Where the sizes of the devices start making a big difference is when it comes down to the weight. Just as an FYI, you can change the size of the text on both devices to make it easier to read or to fit more text onto the screen. Sizes of the screen doesn’t matter too much other than being able to fit more text onto the screen at one time. My iPad is a 9.7″ screen while the Kindle Paperwhite has a 6 inch screen. It is a great e-book reader, but I was looking for something smaller, again.Ĭomparing my iPad Air 2 to the Kindle Paperwhite, you will notice there is a significant size difference. Again, not much different than the iPad mini as far as how it works, but its size. I eventually moved onto my iPad Air 2, which is my current iPad. I could do nearly everything on this one device. Reading on my iPad mini was fantastic because not only could it hold all of those books that the Kindle could, but it also was my computer replacement. At that point, my Kindle started to be neglected. That was all I needed until the iPad mini was released. Since the Kindle books are primary just text, you can fill hundreds, if not thousands, of books on a single device.Īt the time, I didn’t think I had a need for an iPad.
It was fascinating knowing I had all of these books in one spot. Being that it was the only device I had to read on, I didn’t know how much nicer reading on a bigger screen eventually would be.Īfter my deployment, I went to Target and purchased a Kindle.

At the time, I didn’t have a Kindle so I started downloading free or cheap $.99 books from the Amazon store on my iPhone 3GS. I started my journey with the Kindle when I was deployed with the Air Force in 2011. Moral of the story, know your value and you can make a case to be treated better. Apple Tree of Knowledge: Did you know that it was reported, in 2011, that each Apple employee brought in over $200,000 in revenue every year for the company, while only getting paid slightly above minimum wage? This eventually led to employee outrage and Apple raised employee wages and offered better benefits.
