What if you have both an Apple product and an ereader? I have brought two iPods in the past four years and I love them. I gave the nano to my mom and still have my iTouch. However, I still want an ereader. I'm not buying an ereader to stick it to Steve Jobs and Apple (I have no reason to since I think they make wonderful mp3 players at the very least [yes, I did use a non-Apple mp3 player before buying my first iPod and found that I much prefer Apple's product]). I just want an ereader. If the price of the iPad ever comes down, I'll probably buy one of those too.
Maybe there are some people who buy ereaders to be different but considering that ereaders, especially the Kindle, are becoming more mainstream, I have to wonder how different that would make anyone.
