Best Answer

The Kindle is optimized for eBook reading whereas the iPad is a multifunctional device.

The kindle uses eInk to produce the screen which is just black and white, but the iPad uses a LED IPS Display, so it shows vibrant colours and graphics. iPad will have a book store on it called the iBookstore which will have LOTS of books from different publishers, more publishers will be added as the months progress so in a couple of months time it will be like iTunes store (music) and the App Store (iPhone). Also the iPad is a Gaming device, so you can play great games that were on the iPhone as well as games specifically made for the iPad which is also cool! And as well as that, its also got apps that do word processing (the iWork Suite), this lets you basically do office work/school work on the go with pages (essays and stuff like that), Keynote (Powerpoints) and numbers (spreadsheets).

The IPad is somewhat like a handheld computer. You can do anything from download games, to read newspapers and browse facebook. You can go through websites, etc. An amazon kindle is a device that is used just for reading books electronically.
