In addition, their prices are often the best and they have more current commercial titles non-public domain than any other ebook seller.
Amazon's customer service for the Kindle is tops too. If you already own a Kindle DX, the improved contrast is indeed tempting, but we recommend the upgrade only if you can afford it and find the DX lacking in terms of readability. Reading is certainly easier, especially when lighting is less than ideal, but the Pearl display isn't an earth shattering leap in technology. We're torn on PDFs: you can't beat that 9.

You can continue to read your Amazon books on an iPhone, iPad or computer as a consolation, and if you're adept at breaking DRM, you won't care at all about the Graphite's format and DRM restrictions.

While neither is going to risk being confused with a feather any time soon, they both relatively light and easy to hold. However, that half a pound difference in weight is something that one notices during periods of extensive use.
Please note that the actual weight is a bit higher than these numbers, as you need to factor in the non-negligible weight of a protective case for either device. Both are excellent, even though the Incase is bulkier and arguably offers better protection. The Kindle DX sports the following dimensions: The iPad on the other hand is 9. As you can see the Kindle DX is slightly longer and narrower, as well as quite a bit thinner. In my opinion, this makes it both easier to handle and more ergonomic.
