The best new feature of the K3 is the price, and you folks can thank Apple for a good deal of that.
I've read 23 books on my iPad so far, and never once ran out of battery life. I've also never bought a book from the Apple iBook Store. I have bought a couple kindle books and read them via my iPad, as well as books from Baen and Fictionwise.
As others have mentioned -- you can't confuse iBook sales with "how the iPad is used for reading". I will wait until the Apple DRM is cracked before I begin to purchase Apple books.
I do prefer the iBook app, but the Kindle and Stanza apps on the iPad are just fine.
Like most folks, I imagine, I bought the iPad for other reasons than reading. However, it is an excellent reader in it's own right -- unless you want to sit in the hot sun and read, or unless you are incapable of plugging it in at night.
