And again, Instapaper will strip out extraneous content, format the article for the iPad and allow me to read the article offline. And since TweetBot is my Twitter client, if a Tweet contains a link that I want to read, I can click on the link and send the article to Instapaper, as well. I can quickly scan my articles in Reeder, and if I want to read an entire article, I can simply swipe the iPad screen, and that article gets sent automatically to Instapaper. So I tend to buy more books in the Kindle app because these books are more portable.įor instance, I use Reeder as my RSS reader in the iPad and it syncs with Google Reader, which many of you may be using for your RSS reader.
With the Apple iBooks app, I can only sync to other IOS devices - an iPad and an iPhone. I can sync bookmarks and highlights and notes from my Kindle app on my iPad to my Mac, iPhone and a physical Kindle device. I like the Apple iBooks app a little better visually, but I love the availability in the Kindle app to sync to more devices. But I do love reading the same content sitting on a nice chair with my iPad.įor reading, let me talk about three different iPad apps: the Kindle app from Amazon GoodReader, for reading and annotating PDFs and Instapaper, for reading other web content.įor books, the Apple iBooks app and the Amazon Kindle app are great. We all do a lot of reading in our jobs - e-mails, newsletters, books, articles, social media - and I never found that reading this content sitting at my desk, with great posture, was very comfortable. I think the iPad is very good for content creation, for writing documents, for creating mind maps and making outlines, but it really is amazing for content consumption - for reading, watching videos, keeping up with social media. Bhalla: I bought my first iPad soon after it came out, and I was amazed how much I used it in my daily life.
