Actually, assuming that the iPad even gets 8 hours with reasonable usage, that's still quite good. I think the Kindle could get colour without much of a sacrifice, as there are colour e-ink displays, but it'd still be the same slow refresh. Steve Jobs does have a point about who would read for that many hours straight. Sure there are some, but I'm the kind of person who charges everything the moment he gets home, so if it were a choice, I'd go for the iPad over the Kindle. Whether other people would make the same choice? I dunno, but the regular charging is worth it in my opinion.
