Poll – What's the best gadget for reading books?
Remember books? Those quaint little bundles of ink-splattered paper certainly had their charm, but now tech is ready to take reading into a more convenient and luggage-friendly era.
The only question is, which gadget is best for the job? Amazon's Kindle has e-Ink on its side, which means no eye-straining backlight and easy visibility in daylight. Then there's Apple's iPad 2, with its growing iBooks store and swish colour touchscreen. But at a time when we spend an increasing number of hours on the move, surely a media player crammed with audiobooks is the gold standard for prolific readers?

You missed off "A Book" - a know you mention it at the top but it's still the best way to read one.

Books don't qualify as gadgets though I'm afraid, jdw! The aim of this poll is to find out what type of gadget might one day replace them. Pretty interesting so far.

"books don't qualify as gadgets"? Odd, given that the invention of the printing press (and hence the book) is widely credited as one of the greatest inventions in human history (after fire and the wheel, maybe...and don't start me on sliced bread).
What's the chronological cut-off point for the invention to count as a gadget?
Ok, I'm being pedantic...but I too vote "book" ;o))

The printing press is a gadget, but I'd draw the line at the book not being mechanical enough.
