Both the tablets have their pros and cons.

For starters, the iPad has a bigger and higher resolution, a more advances processor and an innumerable array of applications that go hand in hand with it.

On the flip-side, the Kindle HD comes with an 11 hours battery life, access to the Kindle’s book service and a significantly lower price tag for those in the market for a low cost but quality tablet.

So, who will reign supreme in the battle of the tablets?
