That's a lot of Kindles and Nooks. I guess the iPad isn't decimating the
standalone ebook market as some have predicted...

Under $200 vs over $500 is a big difference for people who are primarily
interested in reading books.

The price of Kindles and Nooks is getting low enough that I could see
having one in addition to my iPad. Something that could be taken to the
pool or beach. When they get to $100, which I think they might, I will
get one for sure.

I'm in exactly the same boat -- I read on both my iPhone and iPad, but
am still giving serious thought to a Kindle. Were it just a little bit
cheaper, I'd buy right now.

Once I buy, I'll use it a whole bunch for a couple months, then I'll go
back to my iPad to lend the Kindle to friends and family, and probably
get 3-4 more sales out of them before getting it back and/or someone (Hi
mom!) will keep it and I'll buy a new one for me.
