[quote=ProVista;48465089]Thank you for your reasoned comments.
I do intend to use a reader as I would normally use a book - which would involve reading more than just a chapter at a time. So I take the point about the screen not being back-lit on the Kindle, that it is just like reading a sheet of paper. A Kindle will also fit into my handbag fairly easily whereas an Ipad will probably need a bag of its own so I'll probably end up popping a paperback into my bag rather than lug the Ipad around.
I think I have answered my own questions - so I should just stop dithering any buy a Kindle.
I also think I need to spend a bit more time considering exactly what I would use an Ipad for and whether I can justify £500 for it. Also, (mean mummy) I made my 6 year old save up for half the cost of a DS before I put the rest to it, so part of me is saying how can I try to instill good values into my child about saving up and not buying things on the spur of the moment, not being led astray by marketing etc., if I then arrive home clutching an Ipad I blatently don't need.
I am talking myself out of an Ipad now![/QUOTE]
