I don't think that a significant number of ipad owners will be buying ebooks. But I do think that it will spread the idea of reading further into the consciousness of the general public.

I wonder about that, I think it very likely that an IPad owner would buy a book or two and try it out. If you are an avid reader, of course you would add books to it! If you primarily bought it as a secondary computer for internet browsing, then probably not. But even a internet surfer is "reading" so I say: reading is reading! Whether its' a formal book or reading content on a web site, we are all reading and learning.
