If Apple lets me down, then Plan B is a Kindle.
You may as well buy a Kindle now. Apple's new tablet is probably going to be an LCD screen. Besides, do you want to be locked in to only being able to use your purchases with Apple hardware and iTunes?

I lost about $700 worth of music and movies when my mirrored server crashed last week (both hard drives blew and the data is unattainable...don't ask). Got on the phone today with Apple to see about restoring my and my wife's library. You'd figure they have a record of everything we bought over the years. No go. What you pay for is the license to download the content once from iTunes and to store it on 5 devices (including PCs).

If they ever do an ereader, my bet is it will be tied down the same way.

The Kindle is not much better, IMHO.
