For me, no-one has mentioned the big reason to like the e-ink Kindle over say, an iPad, as an e-reader: distractions. I used my iPad as a reader before I bought a Kindle and it was great. But it was far too distrating to have emails buzzing in every 2 mins, or if I read about a name in a book and thought "I wonder who that is", it was too easy to jump to Safari and look them up, then end up spending ages on the web. Or if you get to a slightly boring chapter of a book it was too easy to say "sod this, I'm gonna stop reading and play Angry Birds".
The big thing for me is the Kindle is, to all intents and purposes, a book. A tablet is a computer/gadget that can be used for reading books. Subtle but important difference if you ask me.
