Apple's iBook app for the iPad At Wednesday's press event, Consumer Reports Technology Editor Jeff Fox got to play a bit with the Apple iPad. In this video, he takes a look at the tablet's iBooks application for reading electronic publications. As he notes, the LED-backlit screen is brighter than a Kindle's, though how easy (or rough) it is on the eyes after prolonged use remains to be seen. For more comparison of the iPad and e-book readers, see our previous posts: The iPad as an e-book reader: Intriguing, but the story is incomplete Comparing the big-screen devices: iPad, e-book reader, & netbook For more Consumers Reports videos, check out our video hub.
