I am surprised for you the kindle is an either/or with the ipad, the two are very different devices: if you want something to read books on, the kindle is definitely superior, if you want a tablet computer, then the ipad is a slam-dunk (although you definitely are paying the early adopter 'tax' on it, not to mention that it's a 1.0 product at the moment), yes, you can browse on the kindle and you can read books on the ipad, but IMHO they are not the 'primary' uses for either device.

It's like somebody asking "the pickup truck I ordered is taking too long to come in, I will buy a minivan instead", yes, you can drive places with both vehicles, but they aren't exactly interchangeable for their primary uses...
