I was busier with school and had less time for pleasure reading, and the purchase of an iPad mini began to crowd out the Kindle from my everyday carry. There were three reasons for this: first, the iPad was significantly bulkier & heavier than the Kindle second, it had a non-retina LCD panel that made the reading text for extended periods quite straining and third, the iBooks Store, at least at launch in Canada, had a significantly smaller library of eBooks compared with Amazon's Kindle store at the time.īy the time the second-generation iPad mini was released, my allegiance to the Kindle had begun to falter. The original iPad released in 2010 didn't persuade me to switch from reading on the Kindle to the iPad. I'd never read nor enjoyed reading as much as I did when I owned my Kindle, and that period has left an indelible impression on me. Within a couple of months of purchasing it, I had read more books and read them faster than I had in years. The Kindle quickly grew to become a beloved device because it supercharged my desire to read. I started using a Kindle back in 2009, a year before Apple announced the iPad and accompanying iBooks Store.
