<h3>iPad vs Kindle</h3>
Despite the iPad runaway success and the Kindle makeovers, there is great news for all those book lovers who have never even toyed with the idea of junking their print editions for the suave effects and cosy comforts of their thin iPad. Nielsen’s latest research on usability of e-books shows that even short stories take 15-20 minutes for people on their favourite e-readers, nearly 10% slower than in print. As mashable sez, and we agree, that’s a definite no no for at least some universities hoping to adopt e materials in class with their own custom version of text books. A far cry, eh!
