It weighs 1.5 pounds. It’s 5″ thick and has a 9.7″ display. The e-reader—called iBooks—looks like it’s far more advanced than the Kindle. iBooks are in color and and the iPad can play videos right inside the book pages! And, $499, it’s cheaper than the Kindle. $499 buys the version with WiFi only, and 16GB storage. To get 3G and a fast connection the price is more—$600-ish.
