Sounding a bit insecure there. This ad is obviously targeting people who'd mainly use an iPad as an ereader.

Looks like it touched a nerve with redribbon there. An anti-glare cover? What is this, a CRT from the 80's? 900 dollars for the top iPad and you can use it to put your makeup on or have a shave, as it's so reflective.

Yup, just like you read real books in the dark... The Kindle isn't trying to be an iPad. The iPad's trying to be Kindle++.
