ipad vs kindle: CAGE MATCH!

[rmd]

OKAY YOU OVERLY OPINIONATED INTERNET PEOPLE! CONVINCE ME! OR SOMETHING.

I need to choose a $SIGNIFICANT_MILESTONE gift for someone. iPad? or Kindle?

iPad has the advantage of doing much more - apps! widgets! other stuff!
Kindle has the advantage of not requiring a separate pay-by-the-month data plan for cell access. Plus more battery life.

thoughts?

I figure either an ipad and a small itunes store gift card (and possibly a small amazon gift card for ebooks), or a kindle and a larger amazon gift card.

They're two different things. iPad has more shiny and apps. Kindle is a book reader. iPad is a bigger device and expensive and I would cry very hard if I bought one and broke it.

There's a Kindle reader for iPad, so they could read Kindle books on the iPad.

I'll try to remember to bring my Kindle with me Monday so you can toss it around.
