It should definitely have it's own forum in the ebooks category.

iBooks is an optional download. It will not even be included out of the box. It's also only available in the US at launch while the iPad will be available internationally.
iPad is not a dedicated reader device, not even close. If you actually watched the announcement you'd see, there was far more emphasis put on web browsing, and even authoring office documents than there was on reading.
I'm sure it'll be great for reading, I plan to use it that way, but it's no more dedicated to the task than the iPod Touch is.
