We're all a bit different, but for my money the general idea of a device that can comfortably handle all your on and off-line e-reading (not just novels) is undoubtedly a solid one. However, I don't currently see the iPad as hitting a particularly unique "sweet spot".
I like Apple products - I'm writing this on an iMac and there's an iTouch in my pocket - but if I buy an iPad it won't be because it hit a sweet spot. It has too many limitations for that. I also can't think of any 'must have' advantage that it has over the equipment I already have.
If I do eventually buy an iPad it will be because the gadget lust got the better of me and I just fell for its charm.
