[quote name='gunm']I'm curious why some people aren't willing to get "two tablets" but are perfectly fine getting an ereader to supplement their tablet.
At least, at these price points, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable to get a Fire to complement your Ipad/Ipad 2...[/QUOTE]
Doing real reading on an ipad, nook color, and amazon fire is not ideal. E ink makes a big difference in terms of eye strain. An e ink reader and ipad can serve different purposes. A Kindle fire on top of an ipad is redundant. Also, for me, I have a ton of iOS apps so I am completely tied to the platform and couldn't switch over to the Fire without losing a ton of content.
