Conversely, iTunes knows what you own but can be obnoxious if you want to re-download. - David Feb 16, 10:41 16

  - We primarily use Amazon, so I'm not the best person to ask, but the iPad's Kindle app is actually better than the Kindle. - David Feb 16, 10:52 4
    - unless you are sitting in direct sunlight. Didn't you watch the commercial ? -- nm - decline Feb 16, 10:54 3
      - When am I ever in direct sunlight? -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:55 2

        I'd totally turn your twin. Not you, though. -- nm - David Feb 16, 10:59
  - not completely. What Reagen says below about sony. Plus kindle can handle a couple of formats (just not Epub). So for instance you can put pdf files - decline Feb 16, 10:51
  - not neccesarily. My Sony Reader is open format, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 10:50 3

      - Only Kindle can buy from Amazon. Amazon books can only run on a Kindle. -- nm - mara Feb 16, 10:59
      - I don't think I can buy from amazon. But I've bought from both Sony's own store and Chapters/Indigo. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 10:52
  - Well, yes except that the iPad has a Kindle App, and a B&N app in addition to the iBooks app -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:48 3
    - And an Overdrive app for public library downloads. -- nm - mara Feb 16, 10:54

      - The only exclusive is Apple right now. I don't see that being the norm and also why iBooks probably haven't exploded like Kindle has -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 10:52
- Apple runs its iTunes business like it's a monopoly. I deal with them only when absolutely necessary. -- nm - TWuG Feb 16, 10:43
(I don't know about iBooks. I've never tried to transfer one across devices.) - Kim Pine Feb 16, 10:39
