That's a good point. I'm holding off on seeing what comes out for the iPhone OS 4.0, but 2nd gen iPad might be a lot more interesting. Or at least the price drop in 6-8 months if the iBooks store offers titles competitive to Kindle book pricing.
I guess if I did buy one, it'd be to make a lot of cases and manbags for sale. The kindle fits in my big purse but unless only students buy it and put it in their messengers/backpacks, some American guys will have issues toting this thing about. Too small for a laptop bag, too big for a pocket.
I was hoping for a tablet computer. As is, it seems like an enhanced eBook reader or a larger version of the touch with 3g...
Hope this encourages more people to read (more), though, with tie ins to free mind enriching material like iTunes U or high quality podcasts.
