I believe that the iPad will be hugely successful. However, as far as "cornering the ebook market", I vote nay. There is something to be said for a device that does one thing and does it very well. As long as there exist devices that display books better than an all-in-one device, then all will be well. Now if iPad (sounds VERY feminine to me BTW) came out with some new-fangled technology that was superior to eInk I would be worried if I were CEO of Sony or Amazon or BN...

//2 cents

EDIT: I posted without reading the OP. I concur good sir!
