I think the iPad will become the dominant reading device -- but I do not see that translating to it becoming the dominant ebook seller. Though Amazon won't tell us, I'm betting they sell more books to iPad owners than Apple does.

I bought a bunch of books through Fictionwise last fall that I haven't read yet, and I have a bunch of books from free sources like the Baen Free Library cued up. And some unspent micropay money at fictionwise. So for now, I haven't been in book buying mode.

But when I get back to buying -- I'll probably be buying from Amazon. I like the iBook app better than the kindle app...but until the iBook DRM is hacked, I'm not buying from Apple.
