Nowadays there is an abundance of ebooks that can be bought from all over the Internet especially from Apple Store (iBookstore) and well known sites such as Amazon (Amazon Kindle application). The support software for EPUB eBooks built in the iPad since its launch is gathering more and more fans and the fact that the iPad has also pdf format compatibility makes it even more reader-friendly.

These facts make the iPad a real candidate for the title of ebook reader of the year. It’s not a dedicated ebook reader but the fact that the number of devices sold is growing each day and given the fact that the iPad can accomplish the ebook reader task easily insures a pole-position in the race. Of course some may find a disadvantage in the screen, knowing that ebook readers have eInk based screens that can make reading easy and offer a paper-like experience without getting too tiresome for the readers eyes.

Another aspect that may be viewed as a disadvantage is the fact that readers may be forced to pay for the download of their favorite books but with such a large array of formats available on the iPad nobody is limited to buying books when there are so many sites that offer free ebooks in different formats.
