Here's the beginning of a list:
1) Much longer battery life
2) Lower cost (not necessarily better Value)

My KPW is much lighter than my iPad is - granted, I've got an iPad 1, which is heavier than the later models, but still the KPW is 2/3 the weight of an iPad 2, even with my KPW cover.
Also, I've been having fun playing with my iPad, and I do find that, after awhile, I get a headache from reading so much on it, and I don't get headaches reading on the KPW or my K3 or any other eink device. dunno if it's eye strain or what, but I can't see reading a book for hours on my iPad, and I regularly do on my Paperwhite with no problmes.
