Current Crop of E-Readers Compared: iPad vs. the Rest - e-Readers - Lifehacker

Lifehacker review of the iPad and Kindle, bit primarily from a techie's perspective. (I find these reviews and reviewers always problematic because they're bleeding edge adopters who in turn adopt this faux-reasonable tone, as if anyone should agree that their marginal, non-mainstream interests are somehow...normal!)

Other uses for a Kindle....

I'm still kind of incredulous: yesterday morning I saw a subway passenger from upper Manhattan using a Kindle as a mirror to check her hair.

Waaaaay Cool!
