On the other hand, watching movies and reading comics in color on the train is something that attracts me.
From the IPAD I love the interface, the color and the possibility of video.
From the Kindle DX attracts me the size, and lower eyestrain.
Someone can help me decide?

Apple vs Oranges (and Apple the fruit, not the brand, lol )
Both are totally different devices.
The Apple is a tablet: has color, short battery life, kind of heavy in comparison and difficult to use outdoor.
The Kindle DXG is not a tablet but a dedicated ereader. Nice screen size for PDF, technical books or even poetry. It will give you between 10 and 20 days with just one charge. Is for reading books and does it well, so I don't understand why people compare it against tablets.
I personally can't read too long on LCD devices and if you add that to a train in movement, I am not so sure about iPad. But if you want to see videos, reading at bed or without light, maybe the iPad is better.
Can I suggest this one?

Not an iPad, but you can do basically the same and smaller! Is a Galaxy Tab. Battery life is not as good as Kindle DXG but you should consider it as an alternative if you want something portable. It has full Android Market and even some ports like micro SD and HDMI. I own it and really happy so far.
