i'm sure you can pick up an old ipad 1 for much the same price a a kindle on ebay... worth a look mate.
ipads are rubbish for reading books though. You dont want to have to read on a screen, it hurts your eyes. The battery only lasts for a couple hours and you can't read it outside on the beach in a sunny day.

The Kindle only needs to be charged about once a month, there is no screen and it looks awesome in the sunlight, the brighter the sun the better it looks.
never knew that... thats pretty cool as it goes.

the ipad aint that bad in the sun (better than a laptop and usable) and the battery life is 10 hours
