Way too many pages to read everything now.
I have a Kindle 3, a ViewSonic ViewPad 7 and an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer. The VP is FroYo and the Eee Pad is Honeycomb. I have the Kindle application on both. When reading in daylight the Kindle 3 is still unbeaten. Why Amazon wants to dump e-ink is beyond me.
The VP and EP are distinctively heavier to hold. The EP only gets used in bed when I have support for my arms.
The EP is a 10" tablet with a keyboard/dock that holds 16 GB, a micro SD (up to 32 GB) on the tablet and a SD card in the dock. Two USB ports in the dock and mini HDMI on the tablet. All this for essentially $100 more than the new Kindle. That seems like a no-brainer.
