Hi Joe,

One thing to consider is accessibility of e-readers for your visitors.
Currently, Kindle e-readers are not accessible to non-visual readers (i.e.
people who are blind or visually impaired)... but iPads are.

Here is a link for a statement about inaccessible Kindle e-readers from
the National Federation of the Blind:
