I don't see it as over priced.
I don't see the iPad competing with a dedicated reader at all. Will there be people that read ebooks on their iPad... sure. Is it the reason that 95% of people that buy one will have bought it, hell no.

When you compare the thousand of things the iPad will be able to do that the Kindle2 can't, then in my eyes the Kindle also looks overpriced. If I do buy the iPad I wouldn't want 3G anyway - WI-FI is fine for me. There aren't many situations that I would be away from a signal or couldn't get to one. That's why I bought an iTouch and not an iPhone. Besides, I like color.
