I must say I don't understand a lot of the negative comments. If you compare the base $499 model to the $489 Kindle DX based on capabilities, application expansion,open business model and functionality the iPad is going to appeal to a much larger market segment.
From what I've seen they've also managed to match or exceed the Amazon ease of use for purchasing ebooks.
It's not for everyone (myself included) but I can see a lot of people buying it and it's just going to grow the ebook market. It's all good to me.
