So, when people talk about the iPad killing the Kindle, I just don't believe it.

You are comparing the Apple bookstore to the iPad, which doesn't make sense.
With an iPad you can buy books from Apple, but also from Amazon, B&N or anybody else. Amazon say that 20% of their sales are now to people who don't own a Kindle. I'm one of them.
