It grabbed my instant attention, it's so Light, so small, I can hold it in one hand, and the e-ink reads like a real book.
Upon using Kindle, It has some amazing feature that really made the difference:
1. A pair of nice speakers which can also play MP3.
2. I can listen to the books - it reads the text.
3. "FREE" 3G in Taiwan with ability to push contents to my Kindle.
5. All my quotes and highlights in the Kindle are sync with a Kindle Blog for me, I can print them out to share
So, it is not a printed book, but it gives many added value for me to "think of" buying printed or Kindle version of a book I want to buy.
When comparing iPad and Kindle, I'd say forget about reading on iPad, Kindle is more worthy of the additional "e" for "books".
