The Kindle us a reflective screen with no backlighting — just like a paper book — while the iPad has an LED backlit display. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

You can either just tap the edges of the virtual pages on the screen in the iBooks app, or move your finger along the bottom as though you are turning a page. It works this way in the Kindle app, as well. The Kindle 2 requires that you press long buttons on either side of its ca to turn pages.
