I have my iPad set to go into Reading mode as soon as I open Apple Books, so that it is automatically in do not disturb mode. No distractions or notifications.

The Kindle is definitely much better for reading. Waterproof and glareproof with no distractions and e-ink technology. I read on my tablet and it gave me headaches from the blue light. Kindle emits very little blue light, so its best to read before bed.

I’ve been playing around with both tablets and e-readers for years. A smaller iPad is the best choice for me because it’s more versatile. My favorite is the 11 inch iPad Pro from 2018. I managed to get a 1TB device brand new at a major discount. It’s my go-to device, but I also have a Kindle Oasis. The Oasis is a bit overkill for my needs, but it’s great as a pure e-reader.

Anyone can shut off notifications and reminders in their settings!

Try reading in the sun with an iPad. E-ink displays are just a different technology that can't be compared to LCD or OLED. They reflect ambient light like paper and only use energy to change the screen. If you already have the tablet and never read outside, keep the tablet, otherwise get an e-reader.

I just put my phone on do not disturb when I’m reading and a screen protector that doesn’t reflect of the light basically turning your phone or iPad into a kindle 😊

I'm a fan of the ipad mini as an e-reader. It's funny to that we focus so much on reading the ipad in the sun. I've read hundreds of books over many years on the ipad and this is never an issue for me. Because you do what humans do, and you angle the ipad or your body position until you can read easily. The ipad really is a no-brainer because it, and other tablets, offer so much more than e-readers.

The video was nicely done. I’ve read books on a Kindle Paperwhite for a few years since 2018. It’s screen is perfect for me and no distractions. When I go to a lake near my house to sit on the beach, look at the water, and lose myself in a book, it’s Kindle all the way. I don’t have to worry about sun glare on the screen, getting it wet or damaged by tossing it it in my beach bag. Yes I do have a case on it which helps. My first point is that for reading it’s best to use a device whose sole purpose is to read.

Faiz made my last point. For anything else I need it’s smartphone all the way. I have tried to read on my older iPad Pro but the device is too big and bright to me for just text. Comics and other reading formats it’s fine.

Thanks Faiz!

Currently stuck at this point too.

Monetarily iPad mini 6 I’m considering is x3 the price of the paperwhite 5 but it’s just that versatility it brings that draws me to it.

Have an iPhone already, still trying to see any other core justification to get the kindle as I started getting into audiobooks a lot of late that I buy from the apple book store but I’m not sure how I’d be able to log into my account & listen to it on the kindle.

Thank you, that’s a great nonaligned comparison!

I have both ipad mini 6 and kindle paperwhite 10th Gen. Tried reading on ipad mini since I left my kindle when travelling for a week. I can't read for longer hours, besides that it hurts my eyes, I get easily distracted. The kindle is lighter than the ipad mini, it's easier to read lying down than holding the ipad mini. Also take note on the battery. My kindle last me weeks even month of reading. While in ipad you need to charge everyday (depends on your use). I used my ipad mini for 2 hrs of reading (100% to 70%)

[NelsonStJames]

I can't believe how big a fan I've become of the iPad, a bit of hardware I thought I'd never own or need. It's not quite the future I envisioned as a kid, but the fact that I can (and do ) carry a copy of a fourth of the books I own with me at all times, and can access books I want in a minute is amazing. I may get a dedicated reader for just that, but the fact that some books, particularly books for educational purposes have audio files makes iPad the winner for me.

Exactly the video I was looking for from you! Brilliantly done 👌🏼

[lisseguz]

The aesthetic of your library is on point. Loved it!

[heartsandwhodunits]

Great video, although I totally disagree. My choice is either Kindle ereader or Amazon Fire tablet. Why? Because in my opinion, the iPad is way too expensive. I paid $80 for a Fire HD 8 and it does everything I need. And, when I want to listen to a story, I can have Alexa read to me, or turn on Speech Recognition and have the Fire read to me. Plus, I listen to audiobooks on it. I also play games, watch movies, look at email, oh, and watch YouTube videos. Just my thoughts!

I love your video, Faiz. I’ve been using kindles for many years, last being the Oasis. I am buying a couple of ipads pro (changing to Apple ecosystem) and will see how I read on it. Surprisingly, the XDR screen of the Mac pro is extremely gentle with my eyes (reading kindle books). For that reason I will try the 12.9 ipad: I prioritize screen amenability over portability. Crazy, huh?

In any case I already use a kindle and will try the ipad world. When the mini has XDR or AMOLED display in the future… then the kindle may be dead to me… or maybe after a few months the nostalgia of the e-ink will point its true value against other displays… but we have more options every year!

I commend you for your videos and as a fellow reader I appreciate how you are helping anyone right now on the verge of a purchasing decision to choose better. Personal experience at the end is the last test, but your informed opinions should be always welcomed.

The same reason why I invest in IEM and hifi mp3, i bought Kobo reader for reading. I get to keep my focus doing one single thing. I doubt people can finish reading a book using the same device they use for watching movies & p*rn and taking notes. Those are solid distractions for reading

[andrewscott]

I read on my 3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9. I love it!!

[Beckumusic]

Big LIKE for your background. Your background looks so amazing!

[leimleim]

Great review, I disagree on the durability side. Having both in many trips, the screen of an e-reader is its weakest point; a small stone can make the screen unusable if it is hit in the right place. The Ipad screen is much more resilient.
