Uhm, see the story below about texbooks coming to the iPad.
Check out the much larger screen size of the iPad, which is well suited to reading, while for most, the iPhone's screen is not.
Check out the book store. Yeah, it's US only, but so was the Kindle. You can load a wider variety of free e-books than you can on the Kindle.
It looks like a reader, it quacks like a reader, it is a reader.
It is also already changing the ebook market, as you can glimpse from the Macmillan/Amazon exchange.
Not giving it its own space is shortsighted, IMO.
