Agreed. Having the Kindle app will be a draw. I'd be more likely to buy a tablet device that I can read my Kindle books on and that I can access Kindle books from since the Amazon store tends to have the best selection and prices for the stuff I read.
It's not a deal breaker as I don't have any books on my Kindle that I have any interest in re-reading, and will keep it around for novels anyway.
A future tablet would be for academic reading, marking up documents and the multimedia features. But a Kindle app would be a nice bonus I'd use occasionally. Like I'll occasionally use the Kindle for PC app to read some at my girlfriends or in the office.
