Reading books, especially pdf files on an iPad Pro vs. a Kindle in 2024. Why I like iPad better than Kindle.

I have had both devices for years. Surprisingly, I prefer reading books on iPad rather than on Kindle. Is it overkill to use iPad Pro 12.9 m1 to read pdf file books? Yes. Is iPad a perfect device for reading books? Also, yes.

1 Bigger screen, For pdf files, with a larger screen, you don’t have to constantly zoom in and out to read textbooks with small fonts or manga.

2 Light emitting screen is not that bad. Yes, I agree that reading on a Kindle feels like reading real books with no emitting screen. But the iPad’s emitting screen is not bad either. The Mini led screen has a superb display, with sharp fonts and crystal-clear pictures in books.

3 Colors. I love colors. Reading magazines, newspapers like WSJ, reference books like physiology books, anatomy books, and kid’s encyclopedias, the iPad shows beautiful colors unlike the Kindle which is still in black and white tone

4 Flipping page time: Kindle flips pages for kindle files really fast but a little bit slow for pdf files. With the M1 chip in iPad, it flips PDF file books instantly.

Things Kindle does better than iPad: battery life, compatibility, price, reading novels from Kindle files (not pdf files), ergonomics, non-emitting screen, reading in bed, reading on a plane flight, reading in the bathroom, dimensions, weight, holding in one hand and minimal hand movement while flipping pages.
