he means the kindle fire, the new kindle tablet computer. the kindle reader isa different thing. edit: it is evident that you knew this. my fault. i have a reader and also a tablet. i dont read books on the tablet, and i would not read books on a ipad. e-ink is for reading, lit screens are for movies and computing.
why wouldnt you just get rid of the reader and use the tablet to read despite the e-ink issue. you wont be using both at once often if at all.

you dont think it is way more pleasing to the eyes to read on e-ink or a book than a backlit computer screen?
if im comparing them. but if just using a tablet I forget pretty quickly. I guess if I got used to it and used a kindle more I'd probably want one. they are pretty easy on the eyes. and cheap. but this goes against all minimalist principles.
