Everything I did on my Kindle and do on my MacBook* can be done on the iPad, so I'm (happily) trading two devices for one. The Kindle's already been sold; the MacBook is next.
I was lukewarm on the Kindle's e-Ink--yeah, the text was crisp, but the contrast wasn't so great, the page-turn delay was an annoyance whenever I wanted to flip back a few pages to recheck something, and I was feeding the book light batteries. I've read ebooks on Handspring Visor, a Palm IIIxe, an iPod touch, and now my iPhone. Eyestrain isn't a problem.
Also, I love the way my iPhone works. I'm excited about apps being designed to take advantage of the larger screen size of the iPad.
I'll be getting the 64GB wi-fi version with a bluetooth keyboard.
(*The MacBook isn't my main computer. I use it for web browsing, feed reading, email checking, word processing and/or video watching whenever I want to get away from my desk.)
