Will the iPad kill the iPhone? Or the Kindle?

After a solid week of using the iPad every day, and almost every hour I’m awake, I finally went back to a device that I used the love-Amazon’s Kindle.

It’s hard to read books on the iPad, as there’s just too much eye strain. The Kindle feels more like a book, reads more like a book, and weighs more like a book.

I know the iPad has been out for the less than a month, but some books I wanted to buy were on the Kindle, and not in the iBooks store.

I have tried the Amazon Kindle app for the iPad, but I use if more for a reference, not so much to read a couple of chapters.

So for me, the Kindle lives on.

That said, I barely touch the iPhone now, except when I’m using it as a phone. I haven’t run an app on that thing in a week. I don’t even check my email on it anymore. The iPad has taken over. It makes me think that maybe I should have gotten the 3G iPad and just cancel the data plan on the iPhone.

No need to rush though-I’ll need a few more weeks to let the new-ness wear off before I decide how all of these wonderful devices can be used.

By the way-I went back to writing in this blog on that ancient piece of technolog called a PC. It’s just better for typing.
