The Amazon Kindle started the paperless book (with out eye burning screen). What is the Kindle? An Electronic book reader. And a great job they did too. Being able to download your books with out having to connect your Kindle to your PC was a great selling point. Electronic ink makes for a very comfortable read.
Now Apple has come out with there iPad. Some call it the iPhone on steroids. Others are saying it is the death of the Kindle. What is the iPad? The iPad is an "ultra mobile PC". Taking mobile devices to new levels, Apple had started the next chapter of computers.
So if your comparing the Kindle to the iPad, your comparing a book reader to a PC. Its like comparing a book to your home theater system. One has a couple of uses, the other has many!
I think you may be onto something! I actually find myself agreeing to everything you have stated.
