If you are happy to strip DRM, or your books are free of DRM, then you can convert all your books in one batch quickly and easily to Mobi format for free using Calibre and use them on a Kindle.

So for the purpose of reading your current ePubs the Kindle is just as viable as the iPad.

On an iPad, you could use the txtr app. But that won't do very well as it's written for the iPhone screen. So you'd have to 2x the screen or read very small. Not a satisfying solution. Overdrive is supposed to be working on a reading app for the iPad/iPhone. So when that comes out and if it can sideload content, then that will be the iPad solution.

But if you have can strip the DRM of ePub, you can convert to Mobi for use on the K3. And you can convert DRM free content to Mobi as well.
