I don't have an iPad yet, I think I'll go for it soon, as I think it is a wonderful tool, but I fear I could have the same issue with it.
I think its an interesting point. But the Kindle, Nook, and even the EB1150 had more features than just the reading of books. I think what the iPad and iPhone just make it a lot easier to get distracted

Personally, I do find myself, like Bremen, actually reading fewer books now that I've had my iPad...but I've only had one for a little over a month. Not sure how my usage habits will change when the iPhone 4 comes out
