And that's why I see them being different devices with not much chance of killing one or the other off--other than the DX and other large screen readers maybe being in trouble if they can't get price down.
Otherwise they are very different. Only need to read text, ,want e-ink, want super long battery life and free 3G (that you can't do much with other than get books)? The Kindle 2 or other e-ink device is for you.
Want a color screen, multi function device that can do all kinds of stuff, and you don't mind reading on LCD and are fine with 10-11 hours of battery life? The the iPad (and other tablets down the road) is for you.
I don't see why so many here, so many journalists etc. treat this like some zero sum end game where either tablets or e-ink readers has to win and kill the other.
There's plenty of room in the market for both.
