The iPad is the first mainstream (first at all, other than laptop/tablet PCs?) multi purpose mobile device with a Kindle app
and a screen large enough for most people to consider reading on it. The majority of those 1000 million iPods were pre the iPhone/Touch and have a screen of about 2 inches across, hardly ideal reading targets.
