Will the iPhone Kill the Kindle? No Way.

Tue, Feb 10th, 2009

It's no secret that I've been a convert to the Amazon Kindle for more than a year now. And now that Amazon has announced its second-generation of the Kindle, I'm even more impressed with the device than I was before. But some misguided souls, like my colleague Rick Broida, are throwing down the gauntlet on my favorite eBook reader, saying it's no match for that little all-in-one wonder from Apple, the iPhone. Here's why they're wrong.

1. It's easy on the eyes. And no, I'm not talking about the design. The Kindle's 6-inch E-Ink display sports a crisp 600x800 resolution that closely rivals the look of a real printed page. And because it's as wide as a typical trade paperback, there's plenty of space on the page to increase the font size to a large, comfortable level while still fitting more than 5 words on the screen.
