There's also a Kindle app for iPad, so you can still buy books from Amazon and read them on the iPad.
As a reading device for text, I still prefer Kindle (or pretty much any e-ink device) over the iPad, esp. for the ability to read it in sunlight.
But the main reason I don't want an iPad now is that it's just so big and heavy -- I know it would give me wrist strain if I had to hold it at a usable angle for more than a few minutes, and having to prop it up on something kind of defeats the purpose of ultra-portability. If it came in a 7" size, I'd be a lot more interested.
