It's a no-brainer to me. Yeah, you can spend a lot less and just get a nook, kindle, whatever, but the features on those are pretty limited. With an iPad you can have all of the readers, and besides price variances there are differences in what titles are available, plus all of the other ipad/iphone apps and features.

If you only could get one, of course the new iPad is the way to go. But e-readers are plunging in price to the point that you can probably have both now. I've heard people saying that by the end of 2011, an e-reader could be as cheap as $50.
You're right, the iPad is clearly a superior device. And I don't even mind reading on the Kindle app on an iPad; setting it to white text on a black background really takes care of a lot of eye strain issues it might cause otherwise. But there's no reason you can't have both. Not anymore.
