The ipad hasn't as many books in the ebook store, but if you wanted the dx JUST for the pdf capabilities.....

The ipad is heavier.

The ipad can't be read in sunlight.

The kindle's battery lasts longer.

Eink (generally) provides a better reading experience.

... but you only wanted one reason, didn't you?

Also, if you actually got an international Kindle as opposed to the US model...

The ipad is no heavier than, oh say, a hardback. Battery life and Eink- those are the selling points.
