Actually, with the Kindle app, you don't actually have to buy a Kindle. You can buy say an iPad. And to be honest, as of right now, an iPad is the best overall device for reading eBooks. It can handle Kindle, ePub, library ePub (via Overdrive), & PDF. So really, it's the best mutli-function device currently out there.

I do think that once Android 3.0 is released with Android marketplace and there are decent tablets available (hardware wise), then the iPad will have competition. But until then, the iPad is the best.
