The ambivalence of those of us who already fill all the niches is only to be expected: we have multiple perfected specialist devices already, there's not much room left in the need spectrum for yet another. However, the emergence of wrap-around iPad cases that include a physical keyboard may be a game-changer.

Personally, I want an iPad almost exclusively for the ebook capabilities (I am currently a student and would benefit from the digital discounts) with the added bonus of minor web browsing capabilities and document reading.

It is more versitile than the Kindle and isn't as expensive as the iPad. While the iPad is amazing to look at and everything, I don't WANT to be able to do 100 things on my eReader. I want to just be able to have all the books I can and want to read and maybe a few diversions to that for times when I am not wanting to read but can't whip out my laptop.
