This all started when I wanted to buy several books and found them incredibly difficult to locate anywhere other than as expensive paperbacks. I looked up the ebook versions and immediately realised that they were not only much cheaper, but so, so, so much easier to access.But after looking at Kindle options, I then I also realised that there's a great special on offer for an iPad 3. I need an e-reader of some type. I WANT an iPad 3... 'cause... they're cool... need vs. want.Now, I have an opportunity to either get a Kindle for $125 or an iPad 3 16GB for $448. I realise they're significantly different and have appropriately different price-tags. The iPad will also delay the purchase of a home gym set I've been saving up for but the thought of paying $125 for something that does nothing more than show text on a screen kinda bugs me.So, although I have no need of an iPad, and it's significantly more expensive, it's also significantly more powerful and versatile and either way, I get what I need, ie. the e-book reader. Now all I need is to decide which way to go.Oh, and this decision has a time-limit. The specials start on the 5th of May and finish on the 9th of May.</blockquote>
