Apple iPad, the product which is just launched, is considered by many as a threat to the Amazon's Kindle and time only will decide which dominates the market. Based on the purpose for which the two devices have been designed, we must say that both are equally good. But there are some basic differences between iPad and Kindle, which the users need to understand.

So far, the market has been dominated by Amazon and now the announcement of the launch of the new mini device by Apple will certainly will be a threat to Kindle. IPad gains some advantages as it has been designed exclusively for the end user and looks colorful and great. The touch screen and similar functionalities of iPad cannot be compared with the old fashioned Kindle having a black and white screen and less interactive features.

While exploring the features of both Kindle and iPad, it can be seen that iPad has the powerful browser, Safari, equipped with it. Kindle, on the other hand, serves as an e book reader with a simple browser which is quite incompetent of offering the features of functions of Apple Safari.

As far as the battery power is concerned, Kindle excels the Apple iPad. The iPad, with its backlight display consumes more power when the Kindle uses very less battery power, considering the minimal power needed each time the page loads.

The Kindle app comes free for the iPad and this gives a greater selection of books for the iPad users. The iPad owners can access the library of both Amazon and Apple before making the decision to purchase a book. Here, Kindle offers the users only limited access through the Amazon store, but still the deliverability cannot be deemed inferior to that of iPad.

iPad supports the ePub format, which in turn is compatible with numerous devices, while in Kindle, the books can be read only on a limited number of Amazon products.

Another factor that gives advantage to the iPad users is the presence of a feature-rich email client and the different views available in the iPad-portrait and landscape. The touch screen enables the users to do most of the tricks with the finger tips. The clarity of the iPad screen and the wide angled view are features that are specific to the Apple product. The clarity and the precision with which the photos can be viewed in iPad are far superior to Kindle, which handles photos in black and white resolution.

Rather than being confined as an e book reader like the Kindle, iPad offers a lot of facilities, including the ability to store and organize the multimedia files. iPad supports multimedia in all formats and this makes it a pleasurable experience for the user who enjoys the music and videos stored in the device. Moreover, the storage space in iPad is almost double the size of that available in Kindle.

The iPad prices start at $499, but when the usability and the thousands of apps are taken in to consideration, the price is just reasonable, even though a little higher than Amazon's Kindle.

The bottom line is that if you are exclusively looking for a simple e book reader, Kindle may serve the purpose; but if you wish to possess an advanced equipment with additional features, iPad is the best option. So just like the way iPod became popular, apple iPad may conquer the electronic world in near future with its glistening looks and amazing features.
