Ebooks: Goodbye Kindle, Hello iPad 3! April 15, 2012 By Jim Lynch A while back I wrote a column called “Why I Bought a Kindle 3 and Why I Stopped Using My iPad to Read eBooks” in which I explained why I had moved away from reading ebooks on my iPad in favor of my Kindle 3. Well, with the introduction of the high resolution iPad I have reversed myself. I’ve stopped using my Kindle 3 and am now using my new iPad 3 exclusively for ebooks. In case you aren’t familiar with it, the new iPad has basically double the screen resolution of the iPad 1 and 2. The iPad’s resolution went from 1024 x 768 to 2048 x 1536 (which amounts to about 264 pixels per inch). It even beats an HDTV! The new iPad has a higher resolution than an HDTV. If you’re coming from an earlier iPad then you will notice the difference immediately. Text in ebooks looks much crisper, without the fuzziness that you saw if you read ebooks using the iPad 1 or 2. It’s not just ebooks that look so much better though. Photos, games and anything else that takes advantage of the iPad 3′s screen just looks phenomenal compared to prior versions of the iPad. If you looked at my earlier column, you know I had a few gripes about the iPad. Strangely, they all seem rather nitpicky now. I haven’t noticed a problem reading ebooks before bed on an LCD screen. Was it just the fuzzy fonts on the earlier iPad that bothered me? Perhaps so. The challenge I’ve been facing now is putting my iPad 3 down and not reading well into the night. iBooks and the Kindle App iBooks and the Kindle app have both been updated to the iPad 3′s higher resolution screen. So ebooks in both look terrific. I own ebooks on both platforms and I have no problems using either app. Right now I think iBooks is just a bit slicker and provides a slightly better overall reading experience than the Kindle app since it has better highlighting and font choice.

So I’ve found it advantageous to keep both apps on my iPad and I recommend that others do so as well. Why limit yourself to one store or the other? Sometimes you can get the same book for less on the Kindle store, though I have found that iBooks sometimes has better formatting. iBooks also seems to offer graphics novels. Last time I checked in the Amazon store you could only get graphic novels for the Kindle Fire, not for the Kindle iPad app. I think that’s a mistake on Amazon’s part as I’ve found myself buying Marvel graphic novels from iBooks and really enjoying them with the new high res iPad screen. If you haven’t tried graphic novels then download the free Marvel Avengers graphic novel and check out how it looks on the iPad 3. Comics finally look the way they should on the iPad 3.
