I agree that the kindle is great but lets be clear about what its advantages and disadvantages are, Advantages:

1) Search function
2) Owner identification - you can put your name in it
3) Notes in the margins
4) Multi-lingual dictionaries
5) Hardware keyboard

Disadvantages:

1) Price - its rather expensive
2) Covers - Cost extra

My Libra Pro does not have any of the great things about the kindle however it costs $100 and comes with a free cover.

So If you buy the kindle make sure that you are willing to live with the disadvantages, you might be a lot of people are. For my dollars I am simply not willing to spend that much.
