BLUF: What have been your experiences/preferences using iBooks or Stanza for reading books on the iPad?

I recently purchased an iPad and see the value in using it for reading.  I like Stanza's simplicity and gestures.  However I like iBooks as it is part of the core iPad product and operating system: this may have longevity going forward.

Please share your thoughts.

I have an iPad, but I'm not using iBook for my reading.  I still use my Kindle coupled with the Kindle app on the iPad and other devices so that I can read anytime, anywhere.  Amazon seems to be intent on making the Kindle app ubiquitous, and I like that if I decide to switch from the iPhone to Android my reading goes with me.

 

I love the iPad's simplicity and ease of use.  If you're a WebEx user, have you tried the WebEx app on it?  It turns it into a very nice portable screen for remote meetings where I'm certain I'll be in read-only mode.

Jael,

I recently downloaded the Kindle app and am reading my first ebook on it.  Amazon candidly did a nice job with the entire experience -- from downloading to any Kindle-like device you have, to allowing to see other person's highlights, to the ability to redownload the book at any time should you not want it on your device -- all wirelessly.
