Will the iPad be Good for Kindle Sales?

April 5, 2010 by Shawn Collins

The iPad sold a reported 300,000 units in the first day it was available, and the numbers continue to roll in.

I’ve read the pros from Mac fanbots and cons from others, and I still don’t see the iPad as a mass market item.

But I am thinking it could be a good time to double-down on promoting the Kindle.

One of the big reasons I’ve seen for getting an iPad is to use it as an ebook reader. But the iPad doesn’t have the portability of the Kindle, even across Mac products.

It’s certainly a plus to me that I can access my Kindle purchases on my iPod Touch, computers, and Blackberry… and I do.

Plus, Amazon is pushing the Kindle hard from the homepage and touting it as their #1 bestseller.

Forget the iFad hype – push the Kindles and make some indirect money over the noise about the iPad.
