1. if Apple allows some degree of sharing, you might buy the Apple version because you can share your books with friends & family who have iphones, touches or Pads, but not Kindles.
2. the iBook version might allow for notes, which the Kindle app doesn't, afaics. Heck, if Apple is smart, it will allow stylus based notes.
3. you might find that the price difference doesn't exist (ask Macmillan) or that the possible differential is too small to warrant chasing it.
4. the iBook version will be optimized for the Pad. It could be faster to get in & out of, or to use, as compared to the apps.
5. the iBook may sync to your iPhone more reliably than the app to the dedicated reader.
6. the iBook might hyperlink in & out of an onboard dictionary, or wikipedia, or a Safari search.
7. you might like the bookcase organization system. (I don't.)
8. the iBook might allow a wider variety of fonts & background adjustments.
9. the iBook search & buying experience might be better.
