Apple gets these small details right. The backlight can be dimmed all the way to virtually off and the app store has the Kindle App so your Kindle library is available.

The iPad is the clear winner and Amazon still gets revenue. My Kindle was sold about two months ago.
The Sony Reader PRS-900 did that two page landscape thing before the iPad was announced. It's nothing new since Sony did it first.
